The technical name for my pewter work is ‘repoussé’. It is an ancient art technique in which a malleable metal is ornamented or shaped by  hammering a metal sheet from the reverse side.  There are few techniques that offer such diversity of expression in metal.

A famous contemporary sculpture created with this technique is the Statue of Liberty in New York.  The statue was formed by copper repoussé in sections, using wooden structures to shape each piece during the hammering process.

The Art of repoussé date from Antiquity and has been used widely with gold and silver for fine detailed work and with copper, tin and bronze for larger sculptures.  Among the most famous classical pieces using this form of art are the bronze Greek armour plates from the 3rd C BC.

These are examples of what I do.  They are individually hand made so will never be an exact copy.  
Each completed pewter piece is back filled and mounted on a box canvas, ready to hang.
Square canvases are 15cm (6'') square and the long ones are 8 x 41cm (3'' x 16'') and 3.5cm (1.5'') deep.
