Hi, I am Samantha Faehrmann.

I am a designer who loves to experiment + capacity build + 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. My commissions include works for the tables of 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 - in remote central Queensland on 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 Kaurna Land in 2019, a short walk west from Iparrityi (Whitmore) Square and recently moved to Strathalbyn on Peramangk and Ngarrindjeri Lands.

I hold a Masters of Architecture from the University of South Australia, where I worked 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.

I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that this was always Aboriginal land and always will be. I continue to pay my respects to Elders past and present.
