Anna Rennie – Maille Maker

Anna Rennie, from Cornwall, was awarded the Endangered Crafts Fund in 2022 to apprentice to master maille maker Nick Checksfield, to learn how to restore and preserve original maille, and to become the first female professional maille maker.

This round of the Endangered Crafts Fund has been offered with support from the Dulverton Trust, with further support from the Pilgrim Trust, the Sussex Heritage Trust and the Swire Charitable Trust.
