Gibson Pewter Shop News - April 2011

Greetings fellow pewter enthusiasts:

With near record amounts of snow this year, it's no wonder there is still quite a bit of the white stuff on the ground around my shop, in the fields and on the ski slopes across the valley at Crotched Mountain. But Spring is indeed here and warmer weather is not far off.

Business is picking up again, thanks in part to Yankee Magazine. I'm one of six artists featured in their article, The New New England Heirlooms, in the March/April edition on newsstands now—or online at...

Gibson Pewter Shop News - January 2011

Greetings Fellow Pewter Enthusiasts,

January seems to be flying by and that is not a bad thing. With near record amounts of snow in N.H. in January coupled with some VERY cold sub-zero days, one can't help but begin to count the number of days until Spring(50+).

Post Christmas time off with my family was restorative and I am now rebuilding inventory and working on new designs for 2011. I usually introduce new product designs in early Spring so stay tuned in to the newsletters.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner! We have a...

Season's Greetings

Season's Greetings from Hillsborough Center. I'm putting the finishing touches on this year's annual Hillsborough Christmas Ornament, Gleason Falls Bridge. This ornament is the tenth and final one in the Hillsborough series. It's a beautiful ornament and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my friend and graphic designer, Roger Goode, of Proper Pup Studio, for having a creative hand in all ten of the Hillsborough ornaments. These and prior years ornaments are still available for sale.

It's hard to believe...

Gibson Pewter Shop News - September 2010

EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Hillsborough's Second Annual Living History Event, held August 21 & 22, was a real success. The weather cooperated and the crowds were plentiful, up almost 30% from last year! Patrons witnessed many historical reenactments and demonstrations around town. Hillsborough Center was the backdrop for several of the events including: pewter casting, blacksmithing, furniture making, cider pressing, a one room school house reenactment, and 18th century style magician, surry rides, and so much more. Look for this event to grow in 2011.
