Art Pewter Supplier Spotlight

. 

Today for our supplier spotlight we take a look at a company that has done so much good for people who have done so much for us. Art Pewter, who employ disabled ex-servicemen and women specialise in the old art of silversmithing.

.

.

The company was founded by late Scottish Industrialist Hamish Dawson-Bowman. The entire purpose of starting the business was to give a new sense of purpose and pride to disabled ex-servicemen and women. He revived the art of silversmithing in Scotland which had been dormant for years.

.

.

The retrained people work in East Kilbride and make everything by hand, a true testament to the workability of the Scots! Celtic designs are a hallmark!

.

.

Their works are truly beautiful. Combining silver with numerous other materials creates a truly excellent product that has to be seen to be believed. Silversmithing hadn't been done in Scotland for decades until these folks came along and brought it back to life! 

.

.

But it’s not just silver they specialise in; they have a range of cross stitch kits with Scottish themes. Bookmarks and cushion panels. They’re a real Jack of all trade’s family!

.

.

The business gave these people the opportunity to create something they were proud of by learning the beautiful trade and giving them a sense of purpose where they may not have one. Disability can cause one to become very disenfranchised and disheartened with life and being given a new purpose can truly help a person.
