Summary

[edit]
Description

On 26 October 1935 Barry Brickell was born in New Plymouth.

At an early age he moved to Auckland and later graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree at Auckland University College in 1954, completing his studies under the Post Primary Teacher's Bursary Scheme. His first and only teaching appointment was in 1961 at Coromandel District High School, which only lasted a few months. He then became a full-time potter and purchased his first property near Coromandel town.

In 1974 he purchased the adjacent 60 acre property, which is the current location of his Driving Creek Railway and Potteries. Brickell was known for his skill at building kilns. Most of the kilns at Driving Creek Railway were designed and built by Brickell using bricks made on-site from clay sourced on the same property.

Barry Brickell died aged 80, on 23 January 2016.

Shown here is a still from the National Film Unit production Barry Brickell, Potter from 1970.
