Chloë Waddell

Brisbane, Queensland

Chloë is a maker of jewellery, objects and art. Although she started her artistic life as a painter and a sewer and then trained as a jeweller she now finds herself working across all three areas and often filling the gaps in between. Primarily process driven, it is the materials she is drawn to work with which usually determine the final form. It is in a busy studio surrounded by materials and in the midst of working on an exciting project that Chloë feels happiest and most at home. It is the pure love of making which drives both her studio practice and her teaching. She is hopeful that just a little bit of that love will transfer into the objects she creates and to the students she teaches.
