Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Clay Economies curated by Richard Fahey at Objectspace, 2008, this publication stands to one side of the exhibition, as an anthology of critical writing addressing an 'expanded field' of contemporary ceramic production in New Zealand.

Clay Economies forms a contemporary, multi-authored analysis of this historically significant form of local cultural production with the aim of opening up an inclusive definition of ceramic practice that goes beyond the narrow confines of 'studio pottery'. From this expanded perspective, what we term 'ceramic production', and the ways in which we may consider this production, are up for debate.
