476: Frank James Fisher on establishing a visual language

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have
an interview with Frank James Fisher. His work in advertising as
a graphic designer has influenced his use of text and printing in
his ceramics work. In our interview we talk about using UV plates
for printing on ceramics, developing press molds for ultra-thin
slab work, and the value of labor in pricing. To find out more
about Frank visit www.frankjamesfisher.com.


 


We are excited to be celebrating the 2nd birthday of
