Josey Prior
Josey grew up in Naples, FL - a child drawn to all things art. They’ve dabbled in just about everything from sewing to drawing to origami. After their time studying Fine Arts at Amherst College they landed on making traditional handmade chainmail jewelry, accessories, and garments as their true passion. Diagnosed with Schizoaffective Bipolar Disorder at a young age, Josey uses their art to find beauty and light in every day.
