Chickadee Lea is an ongoing collaboration between Amy Tromiczak of Umlaut Textiles and Carter Norris of Carter Lea Photography. Chickadee- Amy’s nickname from her grandmother; Lea- Carter’s middle name. Inspired by their names, their home in the Appalachians, and Carter’s Western NC heritage, their logo is the North Carolina Chickadee. Though both have individual studio practices, they enjoy working with one other to experiment with color, pattern, and fiber to create functional works and fine art collaborations.
