defining opportunity to experience an all-expenses paid,<br />

AGNSW X John Olsen: A<br />
JamFactory Collaboration<br />
In early <strong>2017</strong>, JamFactory was approached by the Art Gallery<br />
of New South Wales to commission a series of hand thrown<br />
plates and platters as part of the merchandise for Australian<br />
artist John Olsen’s solo exhibition, John Olsen: The You Beaut<br />
Country. The plates, available in four different sizes, were<br />
individually wheel thrown and glazed in JamFactory’s<br />
Ceramics Studio and feature original illustrations by Olsen.<br />
The commission which was carried out over a period of six<br />
months, saw the studio make over 1,000 pieces. The project<br />
was managed by JamFactory’s Ceramics Studio Production<br />
Manager, David Pedler, and provided skills training for the<br />
studio’s Associates.<br />
