	31 January – 22 February Gallery 1 – Marian Hosking: Jewellery Living Treasures: Masters of Australian Craft Living Treasures is an annual exhibition series that celebrates Australia's most respected icons of craft. The third features new work by jeweller Marian Hosking. With 40 years professional experience, Marian Hosking is one of Australia's foremost contemporary jewellers. Working almost exclusively with silver, Hosking has developed a distinctive vocabulary of techniques including casting, drilling and saw-piercing. She translates specific elements of the natural world into the language of silver, creating jewellery and objects of astonishing beauty. image: Casuarina Chain 2001, 925 silver, chemically blackened 11 x 1.2 x 0.8 approx
	27 February- 19 April Gallery 1 - Moore is More Tom Moore Enter a delightfully surreal world inhabited by a beautiful menagerie of hybrid glass creatures floating, flying and cruising through the gallery. Pushing the boundaries of our imaginations, Moore suspends reality to provide a thoughtful escape route into a humorous dream world.
	Gallery 2 – Special Vesels- Glasses, Goblets, Cups and Flutes Guest Glass Artists Pliny the elder (23 - 78 A.D.) wrote about gold and silver drinking vessels being abandoned in favour of glass. Little has changed. Come and see what all the fuss is about as over 20 guest artists create special drinking vessels in a myriad of interpretations. Inspired by an associated residency and workshop at JamFactory by contemporary glass Maestro Dante Marioni, this exhibition presents collector glasses in all their forms - from the conventional through to the fantastic.
	9 May- 21 April Gallery 1: Figuration Stephen Bird, Michael Doolan, Jenny Orchard and Mark Thompson To form representations and model figures and semblances in our own likeness is a primordial human impulse. Working principally in clay, these significant artists offer personal slants on this central purpose, with each following distinct motivations and approaches as they map out and explore up to and beyond the boundaries of human figuration image: Michael Doolan, Cautionary tale #1 (rags to riches) 2008 ceramic and platinum lustre.
	Gallery 2 – Global Markings Julie Bartholomew Revealing the body as a site for social and cultural change, Bartholomew investigates how people negotiate their way in the world through superficial or often intrusive body change practices, expressing claims of individuality ethnicity, gender and culture in what is an increasingly commodity driven global culture, where associative ideas of ‘self’ are defined by notions of ‘other’.
	27 June- 26 July Gallery 1: A Secret History of Blue and White Stephen Benwell, Robin Best, Bronwyn Kemp, Vipoo Srivilasa & Gerry Wedd. Compelling contemporary interpretations of this classic genera show how tradition techniques can be renewed and re-energised through the creative voice of artists. This exhibition focuses on the kind of blue and white that may be described as individual, original and one-of-a-kind. image: Bronwyn Kemp Square Banksia Dish and Grevillea Dish (oval) 1995 Porcelain with underglaze cobalt blue pigment Banksia 310 x 305 x 90mm Grevillea 310 x 220 x 45 mm
	Gallery 2 – Cool Takeshi Yasuda One of the most celebrated potters in the world, Yasuda’s work has an Oriental sensitivity tempered by his years in the West and informed by his voracious curiosity and prodigious learning. Like a metaphysical Zen scholar, he quietly combines consummate skills and sharp ideas in a seamless blend, producing pieces that while concerned with design and functionality, go way beyond into realms of poetry and ritual. image: Porcelain Bowl YingQing Glaze Reduction Cone 10 firing Liquid Gold Over Glaze 30 x 30 x 6cm
	1 August- 7 September SALA Festival 7-23 August Gallery 1 + 2- Nyukana Baker- Retrospective Nyukana Baker A timely and much anticipated survey of the creative life of an important Indigenous artist. Based mostly at Ernabella on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands in South Australia, Nyukana (Daisy) Baker has spent over half a century making exquisite objects. Baker is an imaginative and tireless innovator who has acquired many skills. She has been central to the development of the Ernabella artistic style that has been influential across other Western Desert art movements. This exhibition includes works drawn from her entire career, including batiks, paintings, ceramics, floor rugs, prints, childhood drawings, wood carving, basketry and bead work. from top: Tali Tjuta 2007 Cast Coloured Porcelain with Wiraku pattern painted in black glaze 310 x 95mm

	12 September-11 October Gallery 1 – Resonance Troy Anthony Baylis, Gerry Wedd, Giles Bettison, Irmina Van Niele, Sun Woong Bang, Erin Lykos and Kumiko Nakajima With every generation comes change. In the conversation between past and present, old stories become new stories. Exploring the relationship between innovation and tradition, contemporary craft practitioners present new perspectives on individual, cultural and national identities. Resonance is part of Nexus Multicultural Arts ‘Old stories, New stories’ program. image: Kumiko Nakajima, Jelly Blocks, 2008
	Gallery 2 – The Infinite Fold Zoe Veness Veness’s jewellery combines elements of pattern, overlay and repetition to achieve rhythm and harmony in her carefully balanced forms and compositions. Using the ‘concertina fold’ as a fundamental construction element, Veness creates her pieces by careful wrapping, twisting, and knotting of multicoloured strands of paper. image: Brooch v from transformation series ii 2008, light blue paper, light blue ink, varnish, oxidised sterling silver, stainless steel cable 55 x 55 x 17mm
	13 October- 29 November Gallery 1 – Resource- Re-source Gareth Brown, Craig English, Nico Kelly, Takeshi Iue, Tom Mirams, Julie Peida, Adrian Potter, David Potts, John Quan, Lou Turner and Peter Walker. Furniture design, manufacture and creative studio practice is increasingly driven by reassessment and revaluation of materials and processes. There is discernable shift towards a greater valuing of the worth (capital) instilled within finite resources and the need to find new ways of working with them. This exhibition showcases the diversity of design approaches to materials once considered non-precious. Image: Alucius Turner, Jello Lamp , 2007 acrylic perspex, low energy light fitting.
	Gallery 2 – Idol Moments Tegan Empson Touching on themes as broad as notions of ‘self’, emotion and human gestures through to ideas about nostalgia, science fiction and contemporary society, Empson’s narratives find their voice in her sophisticated glass sculptural figures of android animals, robots and humanistic rabbits. image: Scanner, 2008 34.5 x 15.5 x 9.5 hand sculpted solid glass with hot-joined and UV laminated components.
	5 December 2009- 24 January 2010 Gallery 1 – Generate '09: JamFactory Annual Graduate Exhibition Highlighting the achievements of JamFactory Associates alongside the staff who have guided the development of their work for the past two years, this exhibition presents graduate work from JamFactory’s four outstanding design studios in ceramics, furniture, glass and metal. image: Robin Best, Oriental Kangaroo, 2008
	Gallery 2 – Cook & Co; Antiquities for the Future Octavia Cook Cook and Co was self consciously established in 2003 as a fictitious and irreverent family jewellery company for the aggrandisement of Cook and her ideas. This it has proven to be, and it has become what is more, a valuable tool by which she mines the themes of beauty, decay, providence and value within contemporary jewellery practice. image: Death of a Ponytail, 2007, brooch; acrylic, sterling silver, stainless steel pin. 35 x 100 x 8 mm.

	Calendar 2008

	Gallery 1 – fuse: jewellers and artists exploring self and society through diverse technologies Nicholas Bastin, Kirsty Boyle, Vernon Bowden, Leah Heiss, Ryota Kuwakubo, SymbioticA: Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr, Mark Vaarwerk New jewellery + objects Guest curator Sean O’Connell, presents seven practitioners who take a creative look at the social impact of technology.

	Gallery 2 - Flip side JamFactory Metal Design Studio Alumni: Alisa Dewhurst, Kath Inglis, Tassia Joannides, Sim Luttin, Sally Mahony, Lauren Simeoni, Belinda Newick and Melissa Turner New jewellery + objects There is always more than one point of view to anything… In Flip side, guest curator Sue Lorraine asks the artists to consider the possibilities for different points of view and interpretation in their work. Looking at the back and the front, the inside and the outside, the up-side and the down-side, the safe side and the risqué side. Whichever way you look at it, Flip side is sure to alter your point of view of jewellery.
	29 February – 16 March Adelaide Bank Festival of Arts
	Gallery 1 – Last Riot AES+F Group – video + photomedia The hit of the Venice Biennale 2007, Last Riot is a three-screen video installation and five-metre photographic panorama by four Russian artists, together known as AES+F Group. In collaboration, they have created this shockingly assertive new work, inspired by Caravaggio. Within its virtual 3-D world of baroque-tinged madness, we witness a war develop between anonymous, androgynous teenagers.
	Gallery 2 – Autoganic Tom Moore – new works in glass + mixed media Beware the God of bad burgers… spinning around the sky, shooting lightning at all my pals and setting the city ablaze. Autoganic is a tumultuously graphic, multi-media, kaleidoscopic road trip along the fuzzy edge of reason. Using highly sophisticated hot glass techniques, Autoganic combines unexpected materials and digital print enhancement to pack an irreverent punch. Be amazed at what can be done with blobs of runny glass and rejoice in the illusory spectacle unleashed by common cardboard, dirt and a few select dabs of paint.
	5 April – 25 May
	Gallery 1 – Porcelain Robin Best, Kirsten Coelho, Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, Ann Linnemann, Bruce Nuske, Prue Venables and Gerry Wedd – new ceramics Porcelain – the hard stuff – the refined temperamental thoroughbred of the ceramic world – the preserve of the connoisseur. A most demanding medium, unforgiving of attempts to control it; it marches to the beat of its own drum 'with a backbeat narrow and hard to master'. Porcelain’s ability to shrink matches its ability to warp. Amazingly plastic and capable of astounding results, yet few attain mastery of this willful substance. The artists in this exhibition are amongst those who, through the Zen-like act of accepting the essential difficulty of porcelain, have come to terms with its essence. Download Porcelain Catalogue here
	Gallery 2 – Informing Facets Regine Schwarzer – new jewellery Embracing the unpredictable and the unexpected Schwarzer uses traditional faceting of gem stones to subvert expectations by selecting stones with impurities. Cutting her stones carefully she reveals their innermost individuality, emphasizing flaws trapped within, rather than cutting stones only to reveal the scintillating properties.
	7 June – 13 July
	Gallery 1 – Breeding Ground Steven Carson, Annabelle Collett, Shaw Hendry, Hans Kreiner, Lee Salome, Niki Sperou – new works in various media Exploring the multiple as a visual device, Breeding Ground reinforces the idea that we see things in clusters, patterns and groups; that we make sense of this order, and are able to focus on what is similar and what is different. The artists in this exhibition use the multiple to emphasize visual complexity, drawing analogies with nature, industrialized societies, mass production and consumerism.
	Gallery 2 – small is beautiful Christine Cholewa – new glass For the first time in history, more people are living in cities than in rural areas – what are the effects of living in a totally manmade space? Using urban images, Cholewa wonders how city environments are affecting people. She engraves, draws and prints her observations onto glass, questioning where this pre-packaged, pre-fabricated lifestyle disconnected from nature is taking us?
	19 July – 7 September SALA Festival August 1 – 17
	Gallery 1 – Duologue Clare Belfrage and Tim Edwards – new glass Inspired by the beautiful simplicity of landscape and natural environment, these two renowned South Australian glass artists come together in a major exhibition celebrating the interplay of light and dark, of substance and shadow and exploring the subtle abstract relationships that exist between negative spaces and their intersections with positive form. These works are reflections on those quite moments in time that can be so easily overlooked in hectic lifestyles.
	Gallery 2 – Chosen Vessel – Australia’s Own Car Margaret Dodd – new works in mixed media Famous for her iconic ceramic Holdens of the 1970s and '80s featured in her film This Woman is Not a Car, Dodd here embraces digital media to make screen-based 3D modeling and animation software works in which 'virtual' translucence inspires new works in porcelain. Dodd’s works in this exhibition are dialogues between the 'virtual' and the 'real' and between her and her artist collaborators including Ian Mowbray, Pru Morrison and Alison Arnold.
	13 September – 19 October
	Gallery 1 – Colour Boundary Jun Tomita and Frank Bauer – new weaving + lighting Colour shifts and delicate grid-like variations of tone across layers of surface and texture connect the work of Bauer and Tomita. The shifting tensions of opacity and density of Bauer's Lichtbilder (literally translated as 'light pictures') emanate from layered grids of perforated anodised aluminium. Bauer's controlled illusions of light and moiré pattern are complemented by incremental tonal variation suggested by the traditional dyeing technique of kasuri or ikat weaving used by Tomita in which individual threads are dyed and woven to create fine gradations of line and pattern along subdued colour boundaries.
	Gallery 2 – Range Giles Bettison – new glass Mastering and modifying the ancient Venetian murrine technique of fusing and cutting bundles of glass cane, renowned glass artist Giles Bettison produces sublimely beautiful vessels and elegant sculptural forms. These works reference the artist’s love of textiles and maps, while their complex, sculptural construction, subtle variation and delicate grid patterning plays with light and colour in a meditative interpretation of the arid rural Australian landscape.
	25 October – 7 December
	Gallery 1 – Trades David Archer, Gabriella Bisetto, Annabelle Collett, Deb Jones, Irianna Kanellopoulou, Maria Parmenter, Adrian Potter and Annalise Rees – new works in various media Trades is a CraftSouth project linking various South Australian contemporary craft, design and visual art practitioners with tradespeople. Eight artists will undergo a period of cross-industry skill immersion, whereby new work will be developed and produced in response to this experience. This project is sponsored by Arts SA and Health Promotions Through the Arts
	Gallery 2 – Symbiosis Bridie Lander – new jewellery + objects Objects including experimental forms, wearable objects and vessels of dubious 'homeware' functionality, are made with the intention of inhabiting a space between; between the artificial and the organic, the digital and the handmade, the real and the imagined, the scientific and the fantastical. The works in this exhibition are part of an investigation and questioning of how we, as organic beings, are absorbed in a technological reality, and to highlight possible connections between the biological and the digital.
	13 December – 25 January 2009
	Gallery 1 – From the earth A survey of Australian Indigenous ceramics Australian Aboriginal visual art is internationally renowned for its rich and vivid works, and its cutting edge is increasingly embracing ceramics as an expressive and celebratory medium. Artists in this exhibition are connected to the communities of Ernabella, Hermannsburg and Tiwi Islands. All are at the forefront of innovation and experiment in this medium, which will be presented together with information on traditional stories and contemporary Aboriginal culture.
	Gallery 2 – Luminous Emptiness Andrew Baldwin – new glass Standing at the gates of a Buddhist temple in Japan, Baldwin was faced by two massive, beastly figures that seemed in such stark contrast to the beauty and tranquil peace of the temple grounds surrounding him. Reflecting on this experience Baldwin creates works founded in the meditative aspect of glass production, invoking the balance, harmony and tranquility of temple grounds.

	Gallery 2 – 'Artefact of the Accident' Brenden Scott-French From rudimentary slab impressions French constructs forms and builds outlines relating to ideas about illusion, crisis, and mortality. Dissecting and rearranging his materials, using sheets of glass to create layers of painted symbolic imagery, French’s work is informed by concerns of necessity, luxury, storage and disposability.

	24 March – 27 May
	Gallery 1 – 'Bent' Toby Thomas Solid timber you can bend into a whiplash? – an Italian invention of course! Thomas catches up with this miracle material, Bendywood, in a presentation of innovative new works. The flexibility of Bendywood provides him with a free hand as he explores the structural beauty of the material and the fluid, curvaceous forms it gives to functional and non functional furniture and sculpture. Image: Toby Thomas, Strangler Fig (detail), bendywood, variable dimensions. Photo: Artist
	Gallery 2 – 'Le Boudoir Secret' Katrina Freene/Zara Collins Spies in the house of love. The gentle arts of acquisition and collection lie at the core of this imaginative and seductive selection of jewellery and objects. A mixture of astute, if slightly steamy sensibilities, deliver inspired creations of delightfully wearable boutique jewellery.

	9 June – 22 July
	Gallery 1 – 'Tiersmen to Linenfold' Khai Liew A master of exquisitely crafted, intelligently designed contemporary furniture, Liew is passionate in his love of skilled hand crafting and feel for materials. Drawing on his cultural heritage, inspired by the cool restraint of classic Danish design and the rugged practicality of utility items made by early Australian settlers, Liew occupies a particular place in contemporary Australian furniture design.

	Gallery 2 – 'Offshoot' Vicki Mason Mason constructs a garden-like wonderland from plastic and metal jewellery. Her floral brooches reference the forms of indigenous flora coupled with traditional Mason’s ironstone pottery motifs. Hybrid forms and stylised representation combine to transform the mundane prose of everyday things into a more surreal and suggestive form of poetic object, where PVC may substitute for precious gems.

	28 July – 9 September SALA Festival 2006 (4th - 20th August)
	Gallery 1 – 'Connections' Leo Neuhofer Enter the zone of the large hand built sculptural floor piece. Neuhofer’s investigations consist of self-conscious structural grids, references to nets and fish trap forms in homage to Aboriginal crafts of necessity. His skeletal ceramic grids and elaborated solid forms are accompanied by charcoal drawings, connecting the minatory power of his hunter/gather forms to the purely formal intentions of his edifice-like pieces. Image: Leo Neuhofer, Edifice de corps (detail), 2006, hand built stoneware clay, 135 x 125cm. Photo: Denys Finney
	Gallery 2 – 'Accidental Souvenirs' Maria Parmenter Meditative ceramics that stand apart for the simple honesty of their functionality and deliberateness. In her first solo exhibition, Parmenter’s pottery becomes a palimpsest – carrying traces of memories; the accruals and erasures of daily life. Images submerge or drift on her surfaces, jostling like memories in the stream of consciousness – accidental and fragmentary souvenirs of the everyday, relics of the past, the present or a possible future. Image: Maria Parmenter, Fledgling 2006, slab built porcelain, glaze, silver detail, 30 x 19 x 8cm. Photo: Grant Hancock
	15 September – 21 October

An influential educator and significant innovator, his developments in the kiln-formed mosaic glass technique have revolutionised the art of glass. His vessels and wall panels are dramatically coloured forms of intense geometric and abstract patterns, exemplifying his exacting attention to detail.

	Gallery 2 – 'Transmission' Christian Hall Combining metal, ceramics and glass in a multidisciplinary approach Hall creates jewellery, lighting and domestic scaled objects.

	Gallery 2 – 'The story about red' Emma Varga Aristotle thought colour was a blend of black and white. In the 13th Century Roger Bacon said a glass prism added colours to light. In 1672 Newton proved him wrong. We know all that. But what power is there in a colour? Are there memories, emotions or sounds a colour might evoke? Varga invites us to join her on a personal voyage into what the colour red might mean with this collection of thematically linked works.

The work presented here was accomplished during her 3 week residency with the JamFactory and then finished during her stay with the University of South Australia. Through a four to five hour session in the hot shop, with the help of two assistants, Kimberley creates each head by hand. She uses a technique of sculpturing from the inside of the glass bubble, with the use of handmade tools as well as from the outside. The work is then annealed, cold worked and acid etched. Steel stands are then made for each piece. Using the qualities of molten glass, her work today explores “the intimacy of human expression, the fragility of a moment captured in time.”
