Colin Hamer

Colin Hamer, a retired metallurgical engineer and

scientist, is one of Canada’s few pewtersmiths.

He learned his craft from a master pewtersmith in

1976, and since 1995, it has been his profession.

Colin’s functional designs range from the classical

traditional pieces to the modern and, at times, ‘way

out’ designs. He incorporates etching, welding,

Exotic wood and stained glass in some of his pieces.

All his work is stamped with his touchmark:

CAH, crossed mallet and gad, and the words

PEWTER and CANADA.
