"In Brickworks, Gwen Heeney not only shows the amazing creations of an international group of artists who work with brick but also gives practical information about getting commissions, working with brick factories, and designing with bricks. In addition she offers insight into the technicalities involved in producing brick artworks. She covers the process from the initial pile of raw bricks, through design, the making of the piece, dismantling, firing, and reconstructing in situ." "Illustrated with images that will both enlighten and engage artists, architects, and those involved in public art, Brickworks is the complete guide for anyone wanting to work creatively with this medium."--BOOK JACKET.
