Objects conservator, heritage crafts maille maker based in South Wales. Formerly Cardiff University, now freelance doing stuff that I enjoy.
My friend Dan filmed me talking about maille making, how I got into it, what I get from it and the process of making rings. To watch me rambling on about various stuff take a look here youtu.be/vqstIqG0W60?...

Still can't quite believe I won Heritage Crafts Wales Maker of the Year 2024 sponsored by Silverlining. Congratulations to everyone who was nominated for an award.
Great to meet so many people keeping craft and skills alive.

My first post here - a busy weekend trading at the Artisans and Re-enactors Market. Lots of chats with people about maille making, loads of interest in what I do and a fun weekend with lots of lovely traders / crafters.
