If Robin Hood, King Arthur or William Shakespeare were to parachute into the 21st century, they'd feel right at home in a nondescript cul-de-sac in San Leandro. That's where Fellowship Foundry is located, a mom-and-pop metal works that's one of the last places in the United States to make hand-crafted emblems of the Middle Ages. Their work is a mythical bestiary of dragons, unicorns and fairies, intricately detailed and bejeweled with crystals.
Each piece takes about three months to complete, from the initial sketch to the finished product. The process has changed little over the eons. A pewtersmith pours molten pewter, heated to 650 degrees, into a mold, and then solders the pieces when they cool. The only modern improvements are that the pewter no longer contains lead.
