Gathering Light: six South Australian studio glass artists

Gathering Light, curated by JamFactory’s CEO and Artistic Director Brian Parkes, features the work of six outstanding South Australian glass artists who each work in unique ways with hot blown glass. The exhibition celebrates Adelaide’s status as a key centre for studio glass globally and highlights key links between Adelaide and the Pilchuck Glass School established by Dale Chihuly in 1971.

Exhibitors: Clare Belfrage, Kristel Britcher, Tim Edwards, Liam Fleming, Nick Mount and Jessica Murtagh.

This exhibition has been developed by JamFactory in conjunction with Chihuly in the Botanic Garden, currently showing at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Project funding has been provided by the South Australian Government through Arts SA and by Jim and Helen Carreker through Foundation SA.
