Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Gabriele Koch studied History and Political Science at the University of Heidelberg followed by a two-year Diploma in Art and Design specialising in ceramics at Goldsmiths College, London. Since establishing her studio in London in 1982 with the aid of a Crafts Council setting-up grant, she has developed a series of distinctive spherical clay vessels. Koch has always been drawn to low-tech, traditional ceramic techniques, partly using recycled materials, such as sawdust for firing, as a way of placing her work in opposition to the often destructive processes of mass manufacturing. The direct approach is also a way of retaining creative control over the materials, forms and processes that sit at the heart of her work. ‘Earth, water, air and fire. Gabriele Koch’s lovely pots speak of all four of those elements as vividly as any I know.’ Sir David Attenborough, broadcaster and naturalist Gabriele Koch: ‘I concentrate on simple forms, trying to integrate balance and tension, stillness and movement, expansion and the containment of volume.’referenceterm-109890adlib-term-109890825251c2-9904-34be-b6ab-c855347f224720th Century, Late#referenceterm-107700adlib-term-1077008f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848Elizabeth IIreferenceterm-106216adlib-term-106216825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0literalEnglandEnglandcountryLondonreferenceterm-125933adlib-term-1259332a6cbee8-205a-3349-bda4-5f0239125f2cporcelain clayreferenceterm-125934adlib-term-125934f2cff863-118f-32d7-b917-9a253c9d870aT-MaterialDiametercm43Heightcm34.3referencemedia-196729adlib-media-1967292b4a3811-3f3b-34fc-844b-0e8488cc08efjpegaa/aa33/large_C_104_1997_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg1heightpixels682widthpixels102317029267274071imagejpegaa/aa33/mid_C_104_1997_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg1heightpixels333widthpixels50017029267274071imagejpegaa/aa33/C_104_1997_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg1heightpixels683widthpixels102517029267274071imagejpegaa/aa33/preview_C_104_1997_200806_mfj22_dc2.jpg1heightpixels167widthpixels25017029267274071image0media
