Just to give you a bit of back story, the Associate program at JamFactory is a two year professional development program for emerging craftspeople and designer/makers. JamFactory needs to make money (it is only partially government funded) so the idea is for Associates to spend 50% of their time helping their studio produce work for sale, run workshops, anything that will bring in an income. The rest of the time is for Associates to spend developing their own work. By the end of the second year, it is hoped each Associate will have built up a profitable working practice.
There are four studios at JamFactory: Ceramics, Glass, Metal (which includes Jewellery) and Furniture. Its a fantastic place to have this opportunity - JamFactory has two retail outlets, a wholesale department which markets Australia wide, gallery spaces to show exhibition work plus PR and Admin departments to back this all up.
