About Amos Pewter

Celebrating Artistry

"He who works with his hands is a laborer; he who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but he who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist." - Louis Nizer

Our Story

The artisans at Amos Pewter are proud to be keepers of time-honoured pewter practices and methods while at the same time offering innovative designs inspired by nature and our beautiful coastal surroundings.

Our artisans carefully ladle hot, free-flowing molten pewter from the melting pot and capture it in a spinning mould formed from a wax sculpture carved in detail to mirror the original hand-drawn design. Once removed from the mould, each piece is carefully hand-finished in a process that ensures excellence in craftsmanship.

Our Mission

Each piece of pewter that leaves our shelves is thoughtfully chosen by someone with a particular sentiment or memory in mind. We have been fortunate to have many customers share stories of our pewter designs with us. Beginnings and endings. Laughter and tears. Milestones and memories. We are honoured to play a part in so many lives.

Amos Pewter was the first artisan shop in Nova Scotia to become a member of the international Economusee network whose mission is to showcase traditional trades and skills. We are located in open studios in scenic Mahone Bay, on the vibrant Halifax Waterfront, picturesque Peggy's Cove and at lively Peake's Quay in Charlottetown, P.E.I. Take part in our hands-on experience where you can finish and personalize your own pewter keepsake an experience, uniquely Amos. 

Thank you

Each pewter design in our shop carries with it the beginnings of a story – a story of the artisan’s inspiration behind the design and the moments they put into creating it. Each design embodies a heart and is intended to deeply resonate with our customer. When they choose a piece or a collection, they infuse it with new life, enriching its story.  As it leaves, its story will continue – marking milestones and memories, continuing traditions or starting new ones, celebrating someone special or marking an occasion. Thank you for being a part of our story over the last 50 years and for choosing us to be a part of yours - it has been an honour. We hope you will join us as our story continues.

I first came across this beautiful store in 2010 when our family visited Nova Scotia. We watched a demo and I purchased a couple of items. I love pewter and their items are of top quality. Since 2010 I have been given Amos ornaments as gifts and have given them as a gifts to others and to myself. I have quite the collection and still have a few more to get. Thank you for making such beautiful items to adorn my Christmas tree.

I very much like the Celtic Wreath pendant. I would be interested if it was in gold, white gold wreath with yellow gold Celtic knot and 1.5 inches in size.

I called needing an order with very short notice of shipping. I placed the order on a Monday and I received it Thursday. The customer service was fantastic. They will definitely receive my support again.????

This Pewter shop is filled with top notch items - all at very reasonable prices. Also, its interesting to note that they have an area at the back where they show how they create all these items.

Just popped in here because my mom was interested in purchasing something. Then we were offered to observe a demonstration of how pewter is made. Right in front of us the demonstrator assembled the mold and poured to create sand dollar shape. It was very interesting and definitely made us more interested in purchasing! If you’re in here try to see a demonstration.

There are so many beautiful items available here. I loved all the Christmas ornaments, especially the reindeer, which I now own and love putting on my tree! Watching the demonstration was fun as well.
