Shop Notes
I'm hand metal spinning a 5" x .060" pewter disc (1,300 rpm's), and forming the body of a baby cup, burnishing, trimming, and rolling the top lip.
The Tall Baby Cup is another popular design for those folks who want a little more volume coupled with a decorative scroll handle.
I'm spinning a 4" x .050" pewter disc, trimming and rolling the edge.
Our Coasters have a nice look and feel. The rolled outer lip adds stability and the weight is good so these won’t stick to your glass the way most coasters do. Sold in sets of four.

Metalspinning the base to a Sonoma Wine Goblet. It is a very difficult metal spinning project. It takes 3 chucks to get to the final form.
The Sonoma Goblet is a beautiful new piece which incorporates the cup from the Leddell Chalice and the taller version of the Stem Goblet base. Here again, I’ve used existing forms and molds to come up with a new design. The Sonoma Goblet has wonderful lines and feels great in the hand. A pair of these would be a wonderful gift!
Gibson Pewter is thrilled to be featured in the September issue of Yankee Magazine!

After careful deliberation, we’ve decided to retire the shopping cart function on our website. We wanted to add it as a convenience for our customers and try to provide some methods for tracking your orders.
However, the maintenance of the cart itself has proved to be a challenge and—weighed against some of the confusion it was causing—the decision to move on and revert to our older model seemed to be in order. Amazon and Etsy can have their carts… For our product line, a...
