Associate Program
JamFactory’s Associate Program provides high-level skills and business training for artists, craftspeople and designers working in the areas of Ceramics, Glass, Furniture or Metal Design. Associates spend two years developing their own work under the guidance and mentorship of accomplished creative staff while gaining specialised knowledge and expertise through collaborative work on JamFactory projects, products and commissions. Further mentoring and critique is provided through visiting artists and designers and through a process of peer to peer learning. Associates are selected once a year from applications received from all over Australia and the world with the aim of creating studio teams with strong focus on development of ideas, creativity and making skills. Applicants will typically be high achieving tertiary graduates with visual art or design degrees, or emerging practitioners with demonstrated skills and abilities.
