Pewter metal art · Made with Ninette Kruger

Pewter wall art, hand-embossed from my lace

My lace drawings, brought to life in pewter by Tauranga metal artist Ninette Kruger. Every line is pressed by hand into the metal, so each piece of pewter wall art is truly one of a kind, catching the light differently through the day.

Huia's Lustrous Lacework

The only piece in the series still available, and our largest piece of pewter wall art. A real showstopper. A huia surrounded by native leaves and swirling lace, hand-embossed in shimmering pewter and sealed in resin. Up close, you can see how it catches the light, and how every leaf and swirl is raised by hand. It sits on a sleek matt black panel that hooks straight onto screws in your wall, so it's simple to hang. It's looking for its forever home.

How it started

Lace, meet pewter

In July 2020, Ninette saw my artwork in a Facebook group and reached out. We had a hunch my lace drawings would look incredible in metal, and we were right.

Ninette translates each of my lace artworks into three dimensions, bringing her own touch through the metal as she embosses. Watching my flat lines turn into something you can see and feel still gives me goosebumps.

My love for New Zealand inspires my art. The lace pattern symbolises the interconnection that makes it the tapestry of my life.Anna

Take the lace home as an art print

Each pewter piece is hand-embossed by Ninette, so no two are ever identical. These prints are my original lace drawings, printed here in NZ, framed or unframed. Huia's Tapestry is a close companion to the pewter huia.
