Designed and manufactured in-house, the Thrown range is, as its name suggests, mostly handthrown,<br />
w ith larger items being made using the Jam Factory jigger and jolly equipment. <strong>The</strong> small<br />
rectangular dish, used as an inset in a timber serving board, is ram-pressed on site. <strong>The</strong> clay is a special<br />
blend <strong>of</strong> South <strong>Australian</strong> clays manufactured to JamFad ory specifications by Bennett's Magill Pottery,<br />
with glazes in 'white' and 'sand' colours formulated and mixed by the JamFadory <strong>Ceramics</strong> Stud io. In<br />
addition to the normal volume <strong>of</strong> produdion, one thousand items based on the Thrown range were<br />
recently delivered to Fino restaurant at Seppeltsfield winery in the Barossa Valley.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Thrown range again demonstrates the viability <strong>of</strong> locally designed and manufadured ceramics<br />
meeting the needs <strong>of</strong> a market looking for objects <strong>of</strong> pradical beauty - ceramics that bear the marks <strong>of</strong><br />
a maker's hand, yet, with the largest items retail ing at under $100, are not out <strong>of</strong> reach <strong>of</strong> the ordinary<br />
consumer.<br />
