Brickworks / Gwen Heeney

Brickworks / Gwen Heeney

A unique look at this amazing area of ceramics; sculpture made from bricks. Very simply, this book shows how an enormous pile of raw bricks is built in to a block, carved to shape, dismantled, fired and rebuilt in situ. The result is often a spectacular piece of public art. Gwen Heeney discusses every aspect - from funding and obtaining commissions through to the nuts and bolts of constructing and carrying out such huge projects.208 pp.
