Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Daniel Fisher began his training as a classical pianist, before moving into the field of art and design. He studied Ceramics at Camberwell College of Arts and the Royal College of Art, London, setting up an independent studio in Stroud in 2000. He developed a direct and intuitive method of working with clay, first throwing precise cylinders then suspending them, upside down, working with gravity, to manipulate paper-like folds and ripples in the clay. Finished pieces retain a sense of the spontaneity of their making, although they are the result of a long and careful process. The porcelain body is usually unglazed, to allow shifting patterns of light to pass through and across the folded forms.
