Barry Brickell (Author)

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.

Here, they're accessible to everyone who appreciates the art of storytelling, interpreted through the unique skills of a master potter"--Cover
