Handmade Pewter Art

Treasures of Manistee, MI

Meaning in Every Piece

JPPewter is a small business inspired by the many historical and meaningful landmarks found around the little beach town of Manistee, Michigan. Made from lead-free pewter, I design and create ornaments, key chains, and collectors items of memorable buildings and lighthouses that can be found throughout the city. Although I currently reside in Virginia, Manistee is still a big part of my life. Each piece is made from hard work, love, and fond memories of growing up in Manistee. These are the perfect gifts for family and friends who also share a love for this little town, for what it was years ago and for what it is now; a place filled with kind people and beautiful history.

The Process

To start, each piece needs to be recreated in 3D modelling software. Once an accurate model has been made, it can be 3D printed for an RTV mold. Finally, we can heat up some pewter and pour it into our mold. After some final touches, including brushing and adding some patina to get that antique finish, our beautiful pewter keepsake is complete and ready for display.
