Chainmaille has a history in Scotland dating back to Roman times, through the Viking and Medieval eras. It is created from a myriad of small metal rings, individually joined to form geometric patterns. Alistair creates a range of chainmaille jewellery and accessories inspired by the tales of the Celtic goddess Bhrìghde, patron of poetry and smithing, using mixed metals including stainless steel and colourful anodized aluminium.
Commissions welcome, including chainmaille dicebags and “emergency dice” keyrings
