Designing Craft / Crafting Design

40 years of JamFactory

Dick Richards, Margot Osborne

Over the past 40 years of ceaseless creative production, JamFactory has helped shape many of the individuals who now lead Australian contemporary craft and design practice. It has challenged and extended our understanding of what contemporary craft and design might be. It has become a vital part of South Australia's creative culture and has significant national and international reach.

Designing Craft / Crafting Design: 40 Years of JamFactory celebrates the history and achievements of the organisation and highlights the work of 40 outstanding artists and designers who, along with hundreds of others, have worked within its studios since the 1970s.
