Irene Schachl, born in Pula, Istria, was a student at the arts and crafts school in Vienna from 1922 to 1916, initially with the painter Adolf Boehm and the architect Otto Strnad. In 1914 she moved to the class of Eduard Leischng and Rudolf von Larisch to study cultural and art history, typography and heraldry. In 1915 she studied architecture with Josef Hoffmann. She then became a member of the Wiener Werkstätte artist workshops, where she worked closely with Otto Landecke, for whose magazine “Die Damenwelt” she had already worked in her final year of study. She was a versatile and, for a time, extremely productive designer of ceramics, painted chip boxes, Christmas tree decorations, glass, textiles, commercial art and ivory and a member of the Austrian Werkbund. Schaschl-Schuster took part in the fashion exhibition in 1915, the art show in 1920 and in exhibitions of Viennese women's art. After her marriage to Franz Xaver Josef Schuster, she seems to have left the ceramics workshop. After that, Irene Schaschl-Schuster, as she was now called, only exhibited occasionally: at the German Trade Show in Munich in 1922 and the Decorative Arts Show in The Hague in 1927.
