JamFactory is a unique not-for-profit organisation that champions the social, cultural and economic value of craft and design in daily life. Through our programs we inspire audiences, build careers, and extend contemporary craft and design into new markets.

For 50 years, JamFactory has been supporting and promoting innovative and outstanding craft and design through our studios, galleries and shops. Located in Adelaide’s West End Creative Precinct, with a secondary site at Seppeltsfield in the Barossa, JamFactory is a unique not-for-profit organisation supported by the South Australian Government and recognised globally as a centre for excellence.

JamFactory’s four studios in Ceramics, Glass, Furniture, and Jewellery and Metal provide a two year skills and business Associate Program for artists and designers, as well as independent studio spaces for some of Australia’s best emerging creative talent. Our exhibition and retail spaces showcase contemporary Australian craft practice and offer a wide range of high quality and collectable craft and design. We also work with like minded organisations, architects and designers to design and manufacture bespoke elements for specialty commissions and projects.

Our Seppeltsfield site is a creative hub for contemporary craft and design in the Barossa, with a unique regional focus. Housed in the estate’s architecturally restored historic horse stables, JamFactory at Seppeltsfield provides an exhibition space, shop and studio spaces for local artisans, from knife making, ceramics, and millinery, to glass and leather.

JamFactory’s shops, exhibitions, public programs and touring exhibitions promote the best Australian craft and design talent. All purchases made from JamFactory directly support our training and exhibition program.

History

Established in 1973 under the Dunstan government as a craft training workshop in an old jam factory on Payneham Road, St Peters, the original JamFactory was home to a gallery, shop and artist studios practicing glass, ceramics, leather, textiles and jewellery design.

In 1992, JamFactory moved to its current purpose built facility in the heart of Adelaide’s West End Creative Precinct. The textile and leather workshops closed, jewellery expanded to include metal design and a furniture design studio was established. In 2010, JamFactory’s flagship retail shop was renovated by renowned South Australian designer Khai Liew.

In 2013 JamFactory launched a second site nestled within the iconic palm trees of Seppeltsfield winery in the Barossa Valley.
