Threads to Clay: Chela's Journey from Textile Design to Ceramics | WAMCAST #0086
Description
Our Australia trip continued through Geelong and Ashmore, stumbling across Ashmore Arts.
We have 3 cracking podcasts to bring you from here.
The second of those is Chela Edmunds who is the maker behind 'Takeawei' - hand crafted ceramic lighting, tableware and art objects for home.
Chela studied textile design in Melbourne in the early 2000s and after graduation set her sights on working in New York. After much determination and many job interviews, she landed a Manhattan job and designed for big names like Vera Wang and DKNY for five years. After meeting a potter in Brooklyn, she fell in love with ceramics and soon after moved back to Melbourne and started Takeawei.
Here we share her journey with you!
