Instagram Arcanaxiiigothicjewelry In 2002 Francis decided to study moldmaking techniques, ornaments and theology.

Arcana XIII is a small business started in 2001 by Francis Lapointe, wich was beggar in these times. At first this enterprise was making chainmail in the streets of Sherbrooke, to resale them to people and storekeepers around. With free techniques such as tons of books at the library, the use of internet at his friends places, by collecting step by step, informations to different jeweller's shops,

crafters or employees of industries, Francis learned the bases of moldmaking, and the existence of certain suppliers. Through various attempts and errors, sometimes very expensive, Francis established his own techniques of pewtersmithing, which made his name by its unique style. The style of these creations are strongly inspired by his studies of the European Middle Age ornaments and theology. By the years, by means of direct contacts with the storekeepers, people, of internet and the social networks, a distribution network developed quietly worldwide. Arcana XIII still continues to grow and to develop new techniques of manufacturing, to always offer better quality in it's limited and original creations.

Arcana XIII est une petite entreprise démarrée en 2001 par Francis Lapointe. Au départ cette entreprise fabriquait des accessoires de cotte de mailles sur la rue, pour ensuite les revendre a des individus et des commerçants des environs de Sherbrooke. En 2002 Francis décide de développer d'autres techniques et d'apprendre le moulage. Par des moyens gratuits tels que les livres de la bibliothèque municipale, l'utilisation d'internet chez des connaissances, en collectant peu a peu, parfois discrètement, des informations à diverses bijouteries, artisans ou employés d'industries, Francis apprit les bases du moulage, et l'existence de certains fournisseurs. A travers différents essais et erreurs, parfois très coûteuses, Francis a établi ses propres techniques de fabrication d’accessoires d'étain, qui lui ont valu son nom par son style unique, qui rappelle celui d'une véritable pièce antique inspirée des diverses ornementations du moyen âge Européen. Au fil des années, avec l'aide de contacts directs avec les commerçants, les individus, d'internet et des médias sociaux, un réseau de distribution s'est développé tranquillement à travers le monde. L'entreprise continue toujours à agrandir son territoire et à développer des nouvelles techniques de fabrication, afin d'offrir aux gens des créations toujours limitées et originales.

Hello everyone 😃,

My Etsy shop will be closed starting this Friday for a few weeks.

I’ve found a new, larger and more suitable space for my workshop, and there will also be a small storefront in front of the place, in Sherbrooke, Canada.

The Etsy shop will remain closed while I move and set up all the equipment in the new location.

I’ll share the address and all the details soon for those of you who are in the area.

Thank you for your support!
Francis

Dear followers

This page will remain, but I will no longer be checking messages or adding new photos. If you need to contact me, please do so via my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArcanaXIII

I’m not a big fan of social media like Facebook, X, or Instagram or other popular social network; I’m more of a lone crafter who enjoys his seclusion.

Thank you,
Francis
