Objects conservator, heritage crafts maille maker based in South Wales. Formerly Cardiff University, now freelance doing stuff that I enjoy.
Doubly pleased that my friend and mentor Nick Checksfield won the Lifetime Achievement Award. Nick has been an inspiration, always sharing his knowledge and experience of 30+ years of maillemaking with others and offering advice and encouragement.

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.
