Description: "A Barry Brickell Reader illuminates not the pottery Barry Brickell is known for, but another facet of his genius: his 'wrertings'. Reflecting the extrusions, bulges, crevasses and bobbles, his poetry - like his pots - can be mildly offensive, but they contain the same virtues Barry associated with rail travel: sensuality, rhythm, vibration and warmth. Here, Barry's great creative output is laid out expansively, accompanied by a photoessay of Barry doing what he did best: working"--Publisher's website.

Description: "When Barry Brickell became New Zealand's first full-time craft potter, he combined his passion for railways with a family tradition in engineering to build a short line for bringing clay and firewood down from the hills to his kilns. Over the next thirty years, he kept extending the line, always taking it just a little higher. ... With Barry, the transitions between art, engineering and conservation are seamless. Driving Creek Railway conquers grades steeper than the Rimutaka Incline, includes spirals and horseshoe curves like the Raurimu Spiral, has zig-zags like those in the Andes, and includes the world's only double-decked railway viaduct." -- Back cover.

Description: "Between 1967 and 2007, Barry Brickell was commissioned to make eleven series of multi-tile ceramic murals, using a technique he calls 'two and a half' dimensions. These major works are in wood-fired terracotta, using clay from Barry's Driving Creek Potteries. The murals are now scattered from Coromandel to Invercargill, and most are installed in private or corporate settings. Only four appear in public spaces, where they can easily be seen and contemplated. This book gathers Barry's murals together, and puts them on public display for the first time. Here they're accessible to everyone who appreciates the art of storytelling, interpreted through the unique skills of a master potter."--Back cover.
