Fellowship Foundry is an old-fashioned business. They make their designs by hand right in their foundry near San Francisco. Since their beginning in 1978, the combined talents of Master Pewtersmith Randal Moore and artist Kevin O'Hare have continued to create wonderful designs. They wrangle first over the idea, then sketches, then the wax sculpture until they are both satisfied. Fellowship Foundry makes a metal "master" from the wax, and each pewter switchplate is cast from the master. Because they craft it all by hand there are small differences between every single piece.
