Arline Fisch

[7][8] After teaching drawing, painting, and design for two years at Wheaton College,[8] she traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark, on a Fulbright Grant to study silversmithing.

[9][7] She received three additional Fulbright grants, one to conduct further research in Denmark and two to lecture in Austria and Uruguay.

[10] She also attended and has taught at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts[11][12] where she was introduced to weaving by Jack Lenor Larsen and Ted Hallman.

[8] While in Denmark on her second Fulbright in 1966, she spent part of her time studying chasing at the Goldsmiths’ School (Guldsmedehøjskolen) in Copenhagen.

She works with thin wire to create forms that have been manipulated in similar ways to knitted, woven or braided fabric.

[16] In the exhibition American Metal Work, 1976 at the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, her sterling silver Hat was described as equally suited to a Byzantine princess, a modern bridal costume or an evening dress.
