The Pewterer. Volume 2,  Number 2.  October 2011

Welcome to the third The Pewterer, an e-magazine devoted to pewter, in support of pewter and the pewter trade, and published by the Worshipful Company of Pewterers. 

The Company fully supports the trade and the metal, not least through the Association of British Pewter Craftsmen and the European Pewter Union; but also through its highly-rated annual design competition, Pewter Live. You will find a brief article on Pewter Live 2011 elsewhere in this e-zine; but you might also wish to log into the Company’s site (www.pewterers.org.uk) to look for more material on Pewter Live and on the Company’s support for the trade.

We have articles on a number of subjects (see both above and below for the links) and the second part of the two-part article looking at the meaning of terms used in connection with pewter (see Glossary). We also introduce two new sections:  the Product Innovation site and the Pewter Marketplace. Please do visit these sites (on one of them there is a competition for you to enter) and let us have your comments.

Please click-through, using the pictures below or the menu above, to the several articles and to the sites; then let us have not just your comments but also ideas for future articles. If the picture links do not work, please use the links at the top of the page.
