Barry Brickell was a well-known New Zealand artist, potter, and conservationist who is best known for his unique and distinctive ceramic works. Born in Auckland in 1935, Brickell attended the Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland and later trained in pottery in England and Japan.

Brickell returned to New Zealand in the late 1960s and established his own pottery workshop on the Coromandel Peninsula, where he spent most of his life. He quickly gained a reputation for his hand-built, wood-fired pottery that was inspired by the natural environment around him, including the native flora and fauna of the area.

One of Brickell's signature styles was his use of unglazed clay, which he would fire at high temperatures to create a distinctively textured surface. He also experimented with glazes and slip decoration, producing works that were both functional and sculptural in nature.
