My current favorite Etsy shop is that of local artist Patrick Ober,
chain mail and metal artist. My husband and I have taken a couple of classes provided by Patrick, who has been a student of chain mail and metalworking for fully half his lifetime. His careful study of the techniques of many cultures and eras has inspired wonderful, wearable modern designs for men and women. Patrick also makes entire shirts and suits of chain mail like
the ones they wore in 1066. Those aren't available in his Etsy shop. I've learned a lot from Patrick and have been inspired after the classes to begin making some simple pieces of my own.
