'''J Shed Art Studio''' is an Artist Studio in Fremantle, [[Australia]].<ref> [http://business.ozsports.info/120030.html Dawson J Shed Ceramic Art Studio ] Superlink</ref><ref>[http://direct.bl.uk/bld/PlaceOrder.do?UIN=199097865&ETOC=RN&from=searchengine British Library Direct]</ref> The studio specialises in ceramic murals and it is run by [[Directory:Jenny Dawson-Ceramic Artist|Jenny Dawson]].
Jenny is a ceramic artist, public artist, designer, teacher, consultant, project co-ordinator and runs a thriving studio in the J shed harbour precinct in Fremantle [[Western Australia]]. Jenny established the J Shed Ceramic Art Studio in 1992 after completing residencies at the Hobart School of Art in Tasmania and at the Deruta Grazia Maiolica workshops in [[Italy]].
Since 1993 she has worked as a team leader or part of an artist’s team on more than 49 major ceramic tiled artworks located in public spaces throughout Western Australia and Interstate.
Jenny has jointly won four awards for design excellence:
*1997 Subiaco Centenary Tiles project
*1998 Percent for Art Public art awards for Art works at Banksia Hill Detention Centre
*1999 Civic Design Award for Art in Public Places/Charrnock Woman Mosaic in East Perth
*2008 Landscape Architects of Australia award for art in Public Places for the Leighton Indigenous Paving Project
'''J Shed''' was established as working artists studios involved in semi industrial processes in 1992. Fremantle Council provided an upgrade and offered long leases to compensate for financial outlays and set up costs incurred by tenants. The studios are not lined and the eaves are not sealed from external weather.

*"Greg James has established himself as a leading Western Australian figurative sculptor. His numerous public sculptures have become landmarks throughout Perth and Fremantle. These highly skilled works are made in a variety of materials including steel, plaster and bronze."</ref> are two of the founding [[Art|artists]] of the J Shed (Arthur Kalamaris-Sculptor was the first at J Shed). They have provided stable and reliable tenancies at the J Shed paying full market value rents for their studios. Their arts businesses have been able to grow over time and infiltrate the '''fabric''' of Fremantle culture and society.

The '''Yagan Memorial'''<ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06/03/2916862.htm ABC News] Aboriginal Warrior's Final Resting Place</ref> is an artwork created for the City of Swan to honour the memory of ''Yagan'', the son of Midgigoroo and Moyran. The Memorial Park is situated at Lot 39 West Swan Road,<ref>[http://cityofswan.com/council/minutes/2006/september/6september2006/b2-4.pdf City of Swan]</ref> Swan Valley, [[Australia]]. Yagan was a very important representative of the '''Beeliar''' People<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=hbagAAAAMAAJ&q=Beeliar+people&dq=Beeliar+people&hl=en&ei=rrAhTMi4F87Qcf_PhVY&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAQ Caught in Time:] Talking Australian History ''by'' Bill Bunbury. Page 40-41</ref> who was instrumental in trying to forge good working relations with the first white settlers of the Swan River Colony in [[Western Australia]].
The imagery tells the story of Yagan and his family, their alienation from the white people, the taking and fencing off of their traditional land, the killings and the payback, and the treacherous ambush of Yagan, Heegan and his party by the ''Keates brothers'' at the site in 1833. Wall one will depict the story of Yagan and his people from colonisation to his untimely and tragic death.<ref>[http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A020578b.htm Australian Dictionary of Biography, Online Edition]</ref>

The [[Directory:J Shed|J Shed perspective]] on the report created by the "Cultural Development Working Group" of the City of Fremantle has resulted in a situation where we are faced with not being able to renew our leases on a professional 5 to 10 year basis. This could potentially close our operations and force us to move and potentially destroy the Arthur's Head precinct. Other issues concerning this please read below.
