Adelaide Hills

Visual Art

Atelier Crafers

A gallery, café and gift shop sharing a single Cox Place address in Crafers. Sculptor Silvio Apponyi's work occupies the mezzanine; the ground floor carries ceramics, enamel jewellery and hand-knitted goods from South Australian makers. Sunday Sessions bring live music — flamenco guitar, Chapman Stick — from 2pm. Coffee, cake and Adelaide Hills wine available throughout the week.

Visual Art

Bearded Dragon Gallery

Since 1999, Community Bridging Services has run art classes for people with disability across South Australia. The Bearded Dragon Gallery grew from that work — a social enterprise now housed in Gays Arcade, Adelaide, selling paintings and craftworks made by artists who identify as living with disability. The logo, a dragon, was designed by exhibitor Marlene Post, who painted them for what they symbolised: power, fire, flight.

Wood & Furniture

Complete Joinery

Complete Joinery brings masterful craftsmanship to the Adelaide Hills, where precision woodworking and bespoke furniture design flourish. Located on Piccadilly Road, this studio specialises in creating custom joinery pieces that merge traditional techniques with contemporary design sensibilities. Visitors and clients discover a workspace where attention to detail transforms timber into functional art—from fitted cabinetry to statement furniture. The team welcomes those seeking handcrafted solutions, whether you're commissioning a unique piece or exploring the possibilities of wood as a medium. Drop by during weekday hours to experience the dedication behind every joint and finish.

Textile & Fibre

Fabrik Arts + Heritage

The old Onkaparinga Woollen Mill closed in the early 1990s. Fabrik now occupies its preserved industrial buildings in Lobethal, the name itself a nod to the town's German heritage — *Fabrik* meaning factory. Galleries, artist studios, a museum, and a retail pavilion stocking South Australian art and homewares sit alongside Ngarrindjeri weaving traditions and textile sustainability programming. Open Wednesday to Sunday.

Ceramics & Clay

Forest Road Studio

Megan hand-builds her ceramics slowly, pressing botanical imprints from her own garden into the clay before layering textured stamps across the surface. The Birdwood studio runs workshops alongside the making practice — guests are encouraged to feel their way through the process rather than plan it. The work tends toward vessels: quiet, tactile, imperfect in the right ways.

Wood & Furniture

Gra Joinery

A cabinet-making workshop in the Adelaide Hills town of Woodside, working to individual briefs rather than fixed ranges. The small team builds kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, wall units and office joinery, each piece tailored to a particular space. Recent projects are documented in detail on their site, giving a sense of how a commission takes shape from first conversation to finished install.

Knifemaking

Riflebird Knives

Warrick Edmonds makes field and kitchen knives by hand in the Adelaide Hills, spanning utility, hunting, fishing and cooking blades individually crafted from selected steels and handle materials. A member of the Australian Knife Makers Guild, he serves as its webmaster and a former committee member, and showed work at the 2025 Adelaide Knife Show. Knives are sold direct through the site's for-sale page, with commissions taken and interstate and international shipping available.

Jewellery & Metalwork

Shannon Cornish - Artisan Jewellers

In a Woodside showroom, Shannon Cornish's team works in gold, platinum, and silver — taking commissions from engagement rings to everyday earrings, remodelling inherited stones, and running make-your-own wedding ring sessions where couples work at the bench themselves. The custom-first approach means most pieces are designed collaboratively before a single gram of metal is touched.

Glass

The Glass Foundry Leadlight Designs

South Australia's oldest leadlight workshop has been cutting and leading glass for over 45 years. The Stirling studio works across Federation, Art Deco, and Australiana styles — think magpies and wrens rendered in coloured glass — and takes on both new commissions and restoration of period windows.

Visual Art

Worth Gallery

In the Adelaide Hills town of Stirling, Worth Gallery represents a range of Australian artists across fine art and contemporary craft, working with both individual and commercial clients. It functions as much as an art sales and consultancy operation as an exhibiting space, with a rotating exhibitions program and its own publications drawn from the artists it shows.
