History

Amos Pewter was established in 1974 by Greg and Suzanne Amos, who learned their trade in the early 1970s from the craftsman Ivan Crowell in New Brunswick. After moving to Mahone Bay, they purchased a historic building there on the waterfront and set up a workshop and retail location.
In 1999, the company expanded their location in Mahone Bay to include a pewter-making exhibit. Greg and Suzanne Amos sold Amos Pewter to Don and Lynn Sheehan in 2006, who established a second store in Halifax in 2010. They opened their first store outside of Nova Scotia two years later, in Charlottetown. Their fifth location at Peggy's Cove opened in 2013.
During the restoration of the Bluenose II in 2012, a commemorative coin created by Amos Pewter was placed in each of the ship's masts. Three pieces by Amos Pewter are held in the Royal Ontario Museum.
