About

Taë Schmeisser is a Melbourne based designer and jeweller.
Her work focuses on the quiet and often overlooked beauty in urban iconography and physical landscapes.
Taë’s work evokes a quiet appreciation of the frequently dismissed utilitarian objects and industrialised sites that, once taken out of context, are striking in form and abstract beauty. Her glass work explores the dichotomy of strength and fragility in the different structural layers of the body.

Taë completed a B.A. in Visual Arts (glass) and a B.A. IN Asian Studies at the Australian National University, during which time she also travelled to Japan to study ceramics at Kyoto Seika University and glass at the Toyama Institute of Glass Art. Further studies included an Advance Diploma of Engineering Technology (jewellery) from the Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE. Her Japanese and German heritage continues to be a source of inspiration and exploration in her work.

Taë has exhibited since 2002, is stocked nationally and in 2008 received the e.g. etal award (Melbourne).
