Dreemsmith Chainmaille/Chaincraft
Paul A. Tardif Jr.
(860) 303-5864
PTardifjr@yahoo.com
Norwich, CT
About ten years ago I found myself being exposed to medieval arms and
armor through room mates that participated in period events. T’was the
defence more then the offence that caught my fancy. The intricate patterns and
functional utility of chainmaille fascinated me. It wasn’t long before I was
weaving the stuff and learning that there was much more to maille then just
keeping the business end of a sword out of the wearers innards. From that
beginning, maille has lead me on an awesome journey. I’ve created jewelry,
show armor, live-blade fencing armor, adornments for glasswear and pottery,
adult oriented items, and even snowchains for a lawn tractor. I’m currently
instructing maille locally as well as leading an artisan group in Norwich and
online.
