Meet Bonnie Bond and John Caraberis, founders of Basic Spirit Studio...

"We have been creating pewter products for over 25 years. Our interest in this medium stemmed from our knowledge and experience of fabricating sterling silver jewelry and cutting semi-precious stones. Pewter lends itself to the creation of a multitude of items that are more difficult to make in silver. At this stage of our craft we enjoy creating pieces that are organic and that reflect a whimsical or inspirational nature. We have focused our business on making affordable products that are fun for us to create. We believe in the possibility of a flourishing life for all and to that end we contribute 10% of our profits to charitable organizations."
