Richard Fisher produces a wide range of household stoneware pottery in his Dundas studio. His pottery is strong but elegant and his glazes are subtly complex. Richard decorates his work with his well-known dragonfly motif. Although made with function in mind, his pots are a pleasure to view and use everyday.

At his cozy pottery studio, tucked away in Dundas, Ontario, you’ll find no shortage of pottery items meticulously hand-crafted by Richard to capture the individuality only stoneware clay can produce. For almost 20 years, Richard has shaped and molded pottery pieces that have become favourites for families all over the world, including Richard’s signature Compost Pot, his indispensable coffee mug, or his exquisite collection of table ware pottery.

Not only does Richard Fisher Pottery possess beauty, but also utility. Designed for the greatest function possible, Richard embraces the character of the clay to create remarkably beautiful, yet strong, enforced forms within all his pottery.

A naturally gifted artist, Richard has combined talent with technique. He studied at Oakville’s Sheridan School of Craft and Design - specializing in ceramics. And most of Richard’s pottery is as carefully calculated as it is crafted – having studied mechanical engineering at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. To the benefit of potters of all ages, Richard shares his experience and passion for pottery as an instructor at the Dundas Valley School of Art.
