Saturday Workshop: Making Mail – The Wallace Collection

Discover the history of mail and make your own sample of armour in this one-day workshop with expert mail-maker, Mark Hale.

Explore how different forms of this armour were assembled, worn and used across the centuries, through the handling of real and replica mail, and examples of the tools used to make it. You’ll then learn the basic skills needed to join pre-made metal rings together, gaining first-hand experience of the fundamental processes involved in creating mail armour.

This is an introductory workshop and no previous experience is required.
