1980s William Derrevere Pewter, Horn, and African Beads Art Sculpture Vase

William (Tulsa, OK) is a metalsmith creating pewter sculptural works as well as silver jewelry. This wonderful piece was made by him many years ago. He states, “To work in pewter is to rediscover and reshape traditional techniques for use in making artistic statements which are contemporary and alive.” William has taught at Ghost Ranch (NM) for over 30 years.

His inspiration comes from reacting to stones, materials, surfaces, textures, and colors. The only profession I ever wanted was to be a creative individual and share that with students. So to be an American Craftsman was it for me. To work in a cross section of materials from little perceived value to materials with great intrinsic value is quite an honor. The material is secondary to the experience I have while manipulating the “stuff.” That is part of the fun, the road you go down and where it leads you.
Don’t miss your opportunity to own this one of a kind piece of art.
