Artist in Residence: Steve Pinney |
| For
Steve Pinney, the "port" in Yarmouthport has a special significance.
A student of original shipbuilding techniques and processes, he creates
museum-quality replicas of ships of all ages, from a mid 18th century
warship to a modern yacht or sport fisherman. But Steve doesn't work in the docks or even near the water. And his customers never sail in the ships they commission. The ships are detailed, museum-quality miniatures, and Steve is one of the most sought-after practitioners of model shipbuilding in America. |

| Generic designs won't work. Most of Steve's customers have a special affinity for a certain vessel and it's that exact vessel that they want reproduced. He covers his studio walls with pictures and working drawings including copies of the original plans when they're available. Steve also uses the finest materials including rare and costly Pear wood. |

"The customers I have demand the highest quality. They want a treasure that they can pass down to their children or leave to a museum. That's great, because it frees me to do what ever it takes to create the best nautical model available." | |
