Chain Maille Jewellery Workshops

Chain maille is made of small metal rings linked together in a mesh pattern. Throughout the High Middle Ages, it was used to create body armor for soldiers. In the 14th century, chain maille began to be gradually replaced by plate armor.

Although chain maille has many practical uses, it is also quite beautiful in appearance. This makes the material an excellent choice for jewellery making.

Chain maille can be used to create necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, anklets, and headpieces.

Our chainmaille classes are taught by Lynda Plumtree of Gemazing Jewellery - Lynda has been making all kinds of jewellery for many years and specialises in stunning bead weaving & chain maille designs.
