About Highland Pewtersmithy

Là math dhut! A good day to you! Welcome to the Highland Pewtersmithy website! We create customized LEAD-FREE pewter pendants, pins, coins and other wonderful trinkets and keepsakes. The pewtersmiths operate their forge at the Fellowship Foundry booth at the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo, New York. (USA) Our primary function is to do historical demonstration of the renaissance-era pewter sand casting process. Come learn about the history of the renaissance era pewtersmith! We do this all day, every day. (Except when raining!) So stop by and check out how it was done in Ye Olde days! You can learn about the history of the renaissance pewtersmith! We also produce custom pins, pendants keychains, and blob-shaped objects with or without your saying of choice. Our custom pins are hand carved at the faire, usually while you wait, and proudly announce to the world what you were feeling at the moment of purchase!

This website serves as a central info point and has examples of our work available for you to view. This website should help you choose your custom saying, as well as what type of pin shape and style you would like. If you would like to order a pin, please feel free to visit us at the New York State Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo, New York!

Vermont Winter Renaissance Faire 2023

Visiting VT in February is often a snowy experience. This year, it wasn’t as much snow but the -47°F wind chill. The weather was absolutely atrocious. Did we care? NO because we were indoors at the faire, showing face to represent NY!

We had a great time, and I recommend this fun faire in beautiful snowy VT to anyone!

Vermont Renaissance Faire 2022

The Vermont Renaissance Faire 2022 went quite well and is now complete, one for the books!! We had an amazing and awesome time, as usual. It matters not that it was sooooo hot, we’re PROS at this!! It was indeed amazing to see our friends and so nice to meet new ones! We’ll be back next year, of course, so if you can’t make it to NYRF, we will see you in VT next year at this event, or perhaps also at the winter faire that VT Gatherings hosts! We wish you all well in the meantime… BE SAFE AND HEALTHY! -Steve

2020 Faire Season?

Hello friends!!

Ah yes, 2020, the faire season that didn’t happen. We’re very sad that we didn’t get to see all our friends this year, and even sadder for the friends who we have lost.

Today would have been the final day of NYRF for 2020, marking a close to our faire season for the year. The pack-up would begin at 7pm, sharp this day. The actual unpack? Usually months later 🙂 Anyway, we’ve been taking some of this time that we’ve got free to work on other projects, so not much is happening in the foundry this year. We have done some cleanup and reorganization, changing things around and whatnot. Beyond these small things, not much is happening for us this year. We have taken some small orders, so if you want something from us, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

While we haven’t done much in the foundry this year, our master artisan at Fellowship Foundry has! Go check his amazing stuff out at www.thefarthingale.com. Here’s a couple of links to amazing 2020-related items he’s created:
