Her chainmail art connects people
“One of her most extensive projects was a dress that took a total of 35,000 jump rings to make. ”
At her home, local resident Josey Prior links tiny metal rings into bold, shimmering garments — each one a reflection of her own creativity. What began as a new hobby to pass time became a powerful outlet for self-expression. Now, Prior is gaining attention as a chainmail fashion designer, turning heads with every piece she makes.
