The Chainmail guy
Hi I'm Jerry Penner, The Chain Mail Guy. I create beautiful and functional pieces of chain mail. Some call it functional art, wearable art, authentic historical reproductions, way-out futuristic clothing, or armour for the New Age. However you refer to it, articles created by the Chain Mail Guy are of the highest quality. I make my own rings because I can't find anyone who can provide me with a consistent high-quality ring that won't scratch, pinch, or pull hair. My rings are cut so well you won't feel a burr around the face of any ring, nor will you see light through the join.

Sheboa Pottery
Shelley Boa that's me, began my pottery career quite by chance 12 years ago when I moved with my young family to Guelph Ontario from Toronto. I was asked one day if I would like to try making pottery and I jumped at the chance and I have never looked back. Largely self taught and guided by local potter Goldie Sherman, I fell in love with the whole process of working with clay. From my early days of struggling to center a lump of red clay on a wheel, I now create high quality functional works of art from goblets to dinnerware and teapots. I throw and glaze my own forms from high fire black and brown stoneware clays. The pieces are functional as well as decorative, all my pots are food safe and oven worthy.
