Meet the Maker

SnailMaille

Gibsons,  BC 

I'm Ren, and I bring new life to the ancient art of chainmaille crafting by using modern materials that are both nickel-free and latex-free. It's a beautiful craft that requires patience and takes time, much like how snails move along through life, which is part of the inspiration for my business name. I love making custom designs for people and offering skin-friendly alternatives to those who are sensitive to precious metals, as well as being part of a community that is working on keeping this ancient craft alive with modern innovations. I make my home on the Sunshine Coast with my tuxedo cat Alphonso, and when I'm not working I can be found enjoying a book near the water or catching up on the latest anime.
