About Panwright
A small workshop making the last pans you will buy.
How it started
It began with one rusty skillet and a weekend of scrubbing.
In 2019 our founder rescued a cast iron pan from a flea market, stripped it, seasoned it and cooked with it every day that winter. The pan was older than she was and better than anything in her cupboard.
Panwright grew from that idea. Make a handful of pieces from materials that can be renewed rather than replaced. Fit them with walnut that can be sanded back. Promise to fix them for as long as they exist.
Today we are eleven people in a converted print works, spinning steel, finishing handles and answering every email ourselves.

What we believe
Three rules we do not break.
Repair over replace
Every part is designed to be swapped or renewed. If we cannot fix it, we did not design it well enough.
Fewer, better pieces
Eight pieces cover almost everything a home kitchen does. We would rather make them perfect than make more.
Honest materials
Steel, iron, enamel, walnut and oak. No coatings that flake into your food, no plastic that melts.
