The Potters Cast | Episode 1000
1,000 episodes! When The Potters Cast first started I had no idea that we would ever get to this many episodes. But here we are… episode number 1,000. And there is nothing but thanks in my heart for all the love and support. In celebration we are doing two things… First my wife, Jennifer and I jumped on a couple of mics and Jennifer interviewed me. So I’ll put a of pic of my work below. The second thing we did was that we asked people to record a message for The Potters Cast. So below I included links to their IG accounts (the ones that I could) and picture of their work. A huge thank you to all of you for being a part of this incredible journey. Lots of love to you.

Frank James Fisher is an American ceramic artist. Fisher lives and maintains a studio in Milford, Michigan, USA. Frank’s ceramic work is influenced by the graphic design principles developed during his extensive advertising career. Frank has worked in the Detroit advertising industry since entering the commercial art field in 1985. This brought a diverse blend of creative influences into his output and resulted in a unique blend of words and images on his artwork. Adept as a professional designer, writer and illustrator, Frank is known and recognized for his graphic design narratives in the ceramic medium. Frank’s explorations of western raku exaggerate the graphic qualities of his work. Innovative clay construction methods push the limits of complex, ultra-thin porcelain sculptures fired in a raku environment. Fisher has evolved a variety of glaze application techniques, giving his ceramic surfaces a look of controlled chaos. Frank has authored articles about his methods and philosophy in Ceramic Art and Perception, Ceramics Technical, Ceramic Monthly, Pottery Making Illustrated, Clay Times and Ceramics Ireland. His work is featured in books, magazines, exhibitions and on household shelves around the world.
