Etched in Fire will be an important monograph on the life and work of Australian based New Zealand potter Chester Nealie, an international authority on the Japanese style anagama (woodfiring). Chester Nealie is a charismatic figure whose knowledge is generously shared wherever he travels. Etched in Fire will document an important part of our ceramic history. A valuable resource for artists, collectors and historians alike. The book will bring together a lifetime of work in photographs and important essays by key artists, curators and writers including Denis O'Connor, Peter Lange, Owen Rye, Grace Cochrane, Lucy Hammonds, Justine Olsen and Dr Damian Skinner.
