Fortified
17.03.2022 – 26.03.2022

A robust blend of South Australian talent, Fortified combines the new guard of JamFactory artists and designers with the next generation of producers evolving from and challenging the Barossa Valley’s long-held identity.

Dedicated to the reinvention of craft, Fortified is the collaboration between nine JamFactory-trained, craft-based practitioners and their chosen Barossa producer. Together they strengthen ties between the city and the rolling hills to produce works that distil the character, artistry and generosity of the Barossa region. Individual practices are bolstered by these creative partnerships, forging new design directions and brilliant outcomes.
