Pewter programming

Mahone Bay pewter experts Amos Pewter, owned by Don Sheehan, have opened a new location on the Halifax waterfront, which Shoptalk disappointingly missed in our waterfront Go Local special last week. No matter, here’s the scoop: Located at 1751 Lower Water Street (the toll-free number is 800-565-3369), Amos Pewter offers jewellery, home décor and tableware. “At Amos Pewter, designers and craftspeople put the spotlight on the skills and techniques that have been used by pewter makers for decades,” writes Natasha Stargratt in an email. “In the Amos workshop, honoured traditions of the craft are practiced alongside technologies of the modern world. Today, the workshop within the store is designed so that customers can interact with craftspeople.”
