About Marmaladies

Writer, artist, and breast cancer survivor Teresa reflects on a life shaped by creativity, resilience, and the occasional plot twist. In this candid conversation, we talk about school fetes and stage lights, losing (and reclaiming) her creative spark, and why, at 67, she’s still dreaming, writing, and growing — weeds and all.

Meet Chloe Michell, a jeweller whose craft is shaped by family, resilience, and a deep-rooted love of making. Born into a world of creativity—her parents the visionary minds behind the iconic Walking Ware ceramics—Chloe’s own journey has been anything but conventional. From painting pottery at the kitchen table while raising her children, to building a thriving jewellery practice rooted in storytelling and sentiment, Chloe has carved out a life that honours both tradition and reinvention. Her work, like her life, is about transformation—quietly powerful, deeply personal, and beautifully human.

Meet Pam—56 years young, seasoned by life, and still finding new ways to keep the script interesting. Her journey has been anything but linear, weaving through marine biology, massage therapy, international education, and now, life-changing charity work. From raising three brilliant daughters to starting over more than once, Pam’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and a refreshingly honest take on what it means to live life on your own terms. She’s got the wisdom of experience, the curiosity of a world traveller, and the humour of someone who knows that sometimes, all you can do is rearrange the living room and pour a good glass of red.

Ms. Marmalady is far from winding down—in fact, she’s gearing up for her boldest chapter yet. With a life stitched from travels, teaching, parenting, and more career pivots than a Netflix drama, she’s leaned into change with humour, heart, and a good helping of hustle. Now, as the founder of Marmaladies, she’s blending creativity, connection, and a no-nonsense approach to ageing with purpose. This is a woman who’s swapped invisibility for impact—and isn’t afraid to throw on a knitted hat, raise a glass, and make things happen.
