From the article:
“Second-generation New Hampshire pewterer Jon Gibson is a little obsessed with his medium. 'I study the history of American and British pewter,' he explains. 'I collect and restore antique pewter and pewtering tools. I have volumes of books on antique pewter. And I’m a member of the Pewter Collectors’ Club of America.'”
