Thank you to everyone that came to our July Touch Tours in Adelaide

It was lovely to meet everyone on both of our Touch Tours in Adelaide!

Katherine Wheeler

On Fridays tour we had a very spritely young girl who kept the curator on her toes - with many welcome questions about the work and how it was made. Thank you to everyone I met, it was lovely to have so many interesting questions & suggestions - it was a fantastic exchange of ideas! Gray Street Studios visit after the tour at the Jamfactory made my day! Good day had by all!

White Heat comes to the Jamfactory

Don Dunstan paved the way for many creative individuals and organisations in the 1970s during his time as Premier of South Australia. Growing up in Adelaide, I remember visiting the original Jamfactory premises as a child and being inspired and amazed at the artists at work and demonstrations of wheel thrown ceramics.

The Jamfactory legacy lives on as THE craft and design hub in Adelaide, and we are thrilled to be included in the Jamfactory's Exhibition Program for 2014! Glass aficionado - Nick Mount will uncover his latest solo exhibition in Gallery I and White Heat in Gallery II.

Exhibition open from Friday 11 July to Sunday 14 September 2014.

Please joins us for the opening night on Thursday 10 July 6pm - 8pm.

Artists Deirdre Hoban and Sarah Hudson will be in attendance on the opening night, pop in and say hello.

Hope to see you there!

Goodbye Canberra and thanks

Thank you to all of the staff at Craft ACT for their assistance with the install and destall of White Heat. It was a really smooth bump out!

We have had some fantastically positive feedback from our Canberra leg of the tour. Over 500 vistitors came to see both Antonia Aitken & White Heat exhibitions. Some comments from the visitors book below:

“Great exhibit Zara - congratulations!”
“Adored the ‘moonrock’, delicious texture!”
“Really enjoyed both exhibitions, particularly the ceramic jewellery. Such breadth of
lightness/solidity.”

Canberra turned on some amazing weather and I took the chance to visit some fine institutions and small galleries in our capital: National Archives, National Gallery, War Memorial, Portrait Gallery, Beaver Galleries and Gallery Bilk.

Here are few shots of the exhibition by photographer Andrew Sikorski.

White Heat exhibition catalogues - hot off the press!

Thank you to the team at Blue Melon Design for a lovely, clean, fresh design for our exhibition catalogue! Communicating the feel of the exhibition beautifully and showing off our talented artists' work in the very best light. So happy with Joshua Morris' photos featuring our beloved model Chardae Jorgensen wearing the amazing exhibition work, creating a fantastic contrast to the white, light and delicate artworks. The environmentally friendly paper stock has a wonderful tactile feel too.

Huge thanks also go to Jane Hunterland for editing the catalogue essay and Liz & Helen for final proofing.

Catalogue will be available in each venue for $3 during the exhibition period.

Can't make it to the galleries? Craft ACT, Jam Factory or Wollongong Gallery?
You can purchase a catalogue online for $4 including postage within Australia in our shop very soon.
