Pewter it
This is a frame grab from my " Pewter it " DVD that I will be launching at HobbyX in Johannesberg this weekend ( 4 to 7 March)
“Pewter it” is the first DVD that I have made. It is a workshop on how to do pewter, where the camera is close up so you can watch every move that I make. It is the kind of thing that I wish that I had found when I started learning about pewter, and I hope that it will be fun to watch. Perhaps more importantly it will show you exactly what to do and what tools and materials to use.
This is an example of the close-ups from the Pewter it DVD showing very clearly how to colour pewter with glass stain.
The DVD is aimed at beginners but is also designed to be a refreshers course for those who feel a little rusty. You are taken through the three techniques needed to master the craft : indented low relief, raised low relief and high relief. I explain the patina and polishing process, how to gold leaf and how to colour pewter with glass stain.
