Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: This exuberant dish is both a technical tour de force and a playfully impractical masterpiece of domestic pottery, drawing on Keeler’s study of eighteenth-century ceramics and his unrivalled handling of clay form. ‘Keeler’s pots possess a potent modern identity that resonates with all the richness of the English pottery tradition.’ Amanda Fielding (1957–2012), Curator, Crafts Council Collection 1989–2006
