Maurice Milleur's Pewter Graphics Inc. began in 1985. It stemmed from his interest in how to make a sterling silver trim to cover the base of a chipped antique vase he owned. A local pewter smith suggested he try pewter instead of sterling and this was Maurice's introduction to working with pewter. He taught himself wax carving, mold making, and pewter casting and then the opportunity came to purchase the casting equipment. The hobby became a business in 1985 when he began to make corporate logo's in pewter on glassware for businesses, and the name “Pewter Graphics” was created. From this he turned to creating designs that were of local interest and heritage and incorporated his business in 1994 as Pewter Graphics Inc.
Maurice Milleur resides on the Mississippi Coast and in New Orleans, Louisiana but is orginally from Spa, Belgium from which his European background distinctively mixes with Southern traditions, the Coast, and Nature, the predominant subjects of his design collections.
