Welcome to Jabuk!
We’ve packed up our dreams and landed on the wide-open stretch of the Mallee Highway, right here in Jabuk, South Australia (that’s pronounced “jay-buck”!). Our new home is the beautifully restored old Jabuk service station—a labour of love brought to life with help from JRM Construction & Concreting. We’ve preserved its vintage soul while transforming it into a working studio and storefront, open to anyone passing by or planning a visit.
You’ll spot us easily thanks to our quirky roadside star: the legendary “Push-me-Pull-you Mini”—a 1970s custom-built car with two steering wheels, two handbrakes, and twice the conversation-starting power. Parked nearby is “Chevvy” the Chevrolet, a 1929 rugged tribute to South Australia’s farming legacy and the clever design of the early utes, built to carry families and farm tools alike. Ours stands proud as a symbol of hard work and heart. Chevvy is on loan from Mallee Mills.
We’re also just down the road from the Marmon-Jabuk Fault Line—a quiet little rumble in the history of the region. And if you’re travelling through, free camping is available at the nearby Jabuk Recreation Grounds (just a short drive away), with facilities provided by the local community and donations welcomed by the Jabuk Hall Committee.

Welcome to the family!
We’re a small crew of passionate creators:
👩🎨 Heidi – Leathersmith & Designer Jeweller
Hi, I’m Heidi! I’ve always had a love for sewing, leatherwork, and crafting pieces with a personal story. What started as a side hustle has now taken centre stage in my creative life.
I believe jewellery should have weight, and bags should be as many as your heart desires! I adore leather because it once had life and purpose—and through my work, it finds purpose again.
Did you know cows form best-friend bonds in their herd? That connection and respect for life runs deep in everything I make.
👨🏭 Jacques Fabian – Master Silver & Goldsmith
Jacques brings the silver spark to our studio. A traditionally trained silversmith from Adelaide, he perfected his craft in Europe and returned to Sydney to teach as the Senior Head Lecturer at the Academy of Jewellery Manufacture & Design. Now semi-retired, Jacques dedicates his time to private commissions and reviving classical techniques—one timeless heirloom at a time.
