On 2 Nov JamFactory
launched its new studios, gallery and shop at the iconic Seppeltsfield Winery
in the Barossa.
The 1,000 square meter
facility, situated in the historic stables building at Seppeltsfield (only an
hour’s drive from Adelaide), provides studio space for around a dozen
professional artisans, a gallery for free public exhibitions and a retail shop
presenting outstanding hand-made products.
A separated walkway
through the space enables visitors to see skilled makers at work, learn about
the materials and processes behind the products and discover the heritage of the
building, which dates back to 1851.
JamFactory at Seppeltsfield brings together two significant South
Australian brands - both with a commitment to premium quality and bespoke
production. Through the collaboration, Seppeltsfield
will take its first major step towards building a unique tourism offering.
Complementing its
established wine heritage, the Seppeltsfield estate will combine arts and design
activities through the new JamFactory facility, as well as a culinary drawcard
through the development of a destination restaurant, launching in 2014.
JamFactory is a not for
profit organisation that supports and promotes good design and fine craftsmanship.
It has been nurturing the careers of emerging artists and designers and
presenting innovative new work to audiences since 1973.
JamFactory at
Seppeltsfield will present nationally significant exhibitions, hands on
workshops, artist talks
and other public programs.
It will provide a major
creative hub within the Barossa and will boost cultural
tourism in the
region. JamFactory at Seppeltsfield will be open 7 days from 11am - 5pm.
