We generally don't drive more than a state or so away.
Made by Hand:
What exactly do we mean when we say made by hand?
We mean that our techniques are very basic. We make jewelry as it's been made for many millennium before the industrial age came about which seperated man from his creations. Yes, we are quite old fashioned and it takes a lot of time to create each piece. It is a very magical process.
- We choose the finest pewter available. It is lead free and similar to the ancient Britannia of 2000 years ago. It is melted in small iron pots and ladled by hand to the molds.
- We create all of our own molds. They are specifically designed for the metal to be hand poured into one at a time. This technique is nearly lost. Each mold holds one piece. We do not spin cast the molds, as this compresses the metal and does not allow it to crystalize as it wants. It must cool gently on it's own to create the proper feel of the pewter .
- Sprues are cut off one at a time. All scraps and mis-cast pieces are recycled back to the iron pot (cauldron).
- Each tab is individually drilled and reamed.
- The pieces are hand dipped and brushed to apply the black patina. Then hand washed and dried.
- There are 5 steps from filing the rough edges through to the final polish wheel. Each is done by hand. This takes the most time in creating the pieces.
- Finally the pieces are hand dipped in a clear coat designed to protect the pieces from humidity.
When they are finally mounted they are placed with description cards which are also cut by hand. The Athames have many more steps which take far longer to create. With over 20 years of experience learning the cooperative process with the pewter Mark can call himself a "Master White Smith".
To help Mother Earth:
- We have switched almost all lights to compact flourescents in our studios and home to help reduce energy. When L.E.D. become affordable we'll use them. We use skylights when possible to let the sun in.
- We choose absolute minimum packaging. The small resealable bags cut down on waste and allow customers to view the pieces without damaging packaging.
- We use 100% Recycled boxes for our Athame and Gift boxes to help save trees. The boxes are made in America to help our economy and less fuel used for shipping.
- We use on line postage whenever possible. This allows us to leave packages with our daily mail delivery instead of driving 8 miles round trip to town, reducing our need for foreign oil and carbon impact.
- All pieces are made by us - not imported. (with the only exception being the athame blade blanks.) This helps our economy and reduces fuel by not importing from around the world. Also it allows for a premium hand made product.
- We Recycle all of our pewter cuttings and filings back into the cauldron so we can reduce waste in the production of our pieces.
Our pets are all rescue animals
Henry and Ginger (guard dogs),
Sadie, Willow Wisp, Yeti Paws, Marilyn Monroe (not so guard cats).
If we all do what we can we can help dream a better world into being.
Thank You Mark & Carla
