Corr’s work has long utilised glass as a vehicle of light and shadow in order to facilitate moments of contemplation and stillness. In this new series, an ongoing study of form and patternation converges with an expanding exploration of colour. Shifting from his longstanding palette of black and clear glass, subtle colour applications lend new atmospheric and energetic qualities to the work. Forms seek to embody grace and stillness, while unique patterns adorning each piece speak of topographical contours, waveforms, and the rhythm of the human heart.

An exhibition of creative works by South Australian designer, artist and researcher Guy Keulemans in collaboration with leading Australian designers. This is the third iteration in the biennial series of solo exhibitions presented by JamFactory in partnership with Adelaide University to highlight the artistic achievements and knowledge of key members of the creative faculty.
For many, the material world has never been more abundant, while planetary existence has never been more perilous. In the face of an interconnected crisis – waste, pollution, climate change and the unease of accelerating production and consumption – Keulemans and his collaborators ask, what is the role for design and craft? What is it that should be made, or remade? The works in this exhibition attempt to bring into the senses new aspirations for the manufactured world. Themes of transformative repair, localism and collaboration explore the agency in studio practice. The collaborations are signified by the X in the title; a symbol of a multiplying force for the consensus required to change material culture.

Power Surge – Into the Grid features prototype lighting designs created by JamFactory Studio Associates working across glass, metal, timber and ceramics. The prototypes were developed as part of JamFactory’s annual product design challenge ‘Design a Thing’, led throughout 2026 by JamFactory’s Creative Directors.
As part of their training, Associates accepted the challenge to develop a functional light fixture or lamp which incorporated a metre long LED strip into a product design suitable for the marketplace.
Within the limits of time, skill, material cost and pliability, Associates have created a body of work which highlights the role of playfulness, experimentation and innovation in the process of product design and production. The works displayed delight in their functionality, their assertiveness, their whimsy and technical mastery. Each creation reveals the a unique design signature through each Associates carefully considered aesthetics and skilled material manufacture, as evident here with ceramics delicately pressed with linen to give texture and warmth, glowing faceted timber, blown glass forms, cold worked and made gestural with light, finely detailed brass paired with paper screen, and a running metal ribbon as scaled-up jewellery for the wall.
JamFactory’s Studio Associate training program has been operational for over 50 years and across that time has provided training and employment for over 400 artisans. The two-year program attracts outstanding emerging artists and designers from across Australia and around the world and is led by some of Australia’s most skilled artisans. With access to JamFactory’s exceptional workshop facilities, Associates work in a supportive environment alongside their peers, studio mentors and visiting resident artists in developing extensive material knowledge, and technical, conceptual and entrepreneurial skills.
