ASL Pewter

183 S Third St · Sainte Genevieve, MO

Why you should go…

ASL Pewter is a working pewter studio and shop in Sainte Genevieve, Missouri, run by Thomas and Patricia Hooper for nearly 40 years. The Hoopers cast molten pewter into antique molds and spin flat pewter discs on an 1873 water-powered lathe to make lead-free tankards, tableware, and gifts. Visitors can watch the craft and shop the finished pieces in the studio.

Good to know

General shopping guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Vendor hours are their own thing

    Market stalls and independent sellers keep shorter hours than the building around them, and quiet days end early.

  • Bring a tote and a little cash

    Smaller sellers do not all take cards, and bags are rarely free.

  • Weekdays browse, weekends buzz

    Pick the weekday for a proper look at the shelves and the weekend for the atmosphere.

  • Ask about shipping

    If something will not survive the suitcase, plenty of sellers will send it home for you.
