This series includes project files for an advertising campaign for the Aluminum Company of America, writings and lectures, a cataloging project for Long House Reserve, commercial ventures, curriculum development at Boston University, grants, the installation of Hanging Gardens, the Nanette L. Laitman oral history project, a seminar on traditional Islamic crafts, and workshops for the Crafts Council of Australia and others.
Writing projects include published and unpublished drafts of articles and essays, correspondence and manuscripts for Fisch's book titled Textile Techniques in Metal for Jewelers, Sculptors, and Textile Artists, and her contributions to books for the Penland School of Crafts and the Object: USA book/exhibition project. Fisch received several grants from organizations such as the National Endowment for the Arts and the Fulbright Program to conduct metal workshops, to lecture and teach in Europe and South America, and to develop customs regulations for craft objects. The request to change customs regulations was sent to the Congressional Arts Caucus, but the project was terminated in 1983 with no actions taken.
