Hi, I am Samantha Faehrmann.
I am an artist who loves to create + collaborate + teach.
You can find my work at some of Adelaide’s best cafes and restaurants including - Etica, Peter Rabbit, Bloom, Allegra Dining Room, and Lockwood General.
Sam's work has graced the tables of The David Roche Foundation + cooking legend - THE - Martha Stewart!
Both wild adventures made possible through the generous support of the dearly missed, Martyn Cook
Beginning as an industrious thinker and maker - through necessity - in remote central Queensland on unceded Gayiri Land, my creativity and values developed through experimentation in mediums, material and scale. Ever questioning the intangible, visceral, spatial layers and connections that compose our individual and collective phenomenological states, across species and time. I launched ‘Butter and Gravy Studio’ in 2016 including the development of functional series of ‘I AM SAM’ ceramics. I extended to a brick and mortar studio on unceded Kaurna Land in 2019, a short walk west from Iparrityi/Whitmore square.
I hold a Masters of Architecture from the University of South Australia, where I began working with the 'Design Construct Program’ (DCP) for over 12 years. My
portfolio expanded to include contemporary art in pursuit of material language and experimentation in 2016.
I continue to explore the intersections between people, spaces, places, bodies and objects that form the phenomena of our experience and our collective contributions.
Cleopatra, the BEST studio assistant.
