5.00Spent an awesome afternoon learning about pewter and how it is made. Part of the tour is having a hands on experience of tracing a mold and cleaning up the final product. Thanks Hailey, Hanna, and Taz for creating a memorable experience!

5.00It was fun to see Luke melt the pewter and tell us how the figures are molded and cast. We were stopping by Halifax on a cruise ship. The people at the store were very nice.
