chainmaille
If for some strange reason you happened to be looking at my college transcript, you might notice an odd course tucked in between “Poetry/Prose Workshop” and “Discrete Mathmatics” – a course labeled “Chainmaille & Calligraphy.” The calligraphy part was fun, but it was the chainmaille that really grabbed my attention. I started by learning basic […]
I’m Laura, based in Toronto, Canada. I’ve been creating and selling jewelry for a few years, ever since a friend taught me the basics. I threw myself whole-heartedly into the venture and get quite a thrill when someone admires an item that I have created. I love to travel and get inspiration for my […]
I would like to introduce Cevulirn aka Benjamin, who started making chainmaille in 2001, and experimenting with Turks head rings in 2003. Since then Cevulirn has made rings with brass, copper, stainless steel, fine silver, niobium, titanium, and gold, most being of fine silver. Not only are these some of the most complex rings I […]
For you maillers out there, this will be no big surprise – but keep reading anyway, and for those of you who admire chainmaille but don’t know much about it, but want to learn – I’m here to tell you a little more about it, by introducing you to Bonnie of MailleEtc on Etsy. Although […]

AKA Andrew and Kimberly, who created Handmade Artists Forum, and this blog. This fantastic couple who live in […]
I’m mom to a 16-year-old son, a variety of furry and feathered critters, and a husband (you know how that is) here in Tennessee. I love the Renaissance and all things Celtic. I love to create things. I’m watched over by the muse of metal these days… mostly wire and chainmaille, although I’m a little […]
“There’s just something about chainmaille that completely intrigues me. It may be that it is so much like a puzzle. This certainly isn’t a new trend, perhaps a revised trend would be a better way of putting it. After all, the art of chainmaille is over 2,000 years old”, according to Monique, creator of Tora Jewelry. We often […]
I got started with jewelry making when I was six and my parents and grandparents both gave me beads one year as a Christmas gift. I wasn’t very good, it was really just me messing around having fun with beads. Every year for my birthday or for Christmas my parents tried to find me a […]
