This book is a record of the artistic career of Nola Barron. It covers three different aspects of her life and works. After an initial interest in painting, she found that pottery was the craft she wished to follow. She enrolled at the Studio of Design, which was established by Yvonne Rust, an influential New Zealand potter, and learned the basics of throwing, glazing and firing stoneware pottery. After about two years of tuition, she established her own studio and built a kiln. Not satisfied with wheel-thrown domestic objects she experimented with hand-built forms of a more decorative nature, using clay to produce sculptural shapes. She also made ceramic tiles which were assembled and mounted on plywood to make decorative panels. Wishing to expand her knowledge, Nola enrolled as a part-time student at the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts where she studied design and sculpture. She also extended her range of materials, producing sculptures in fibreglass, cast aluminium and cast bronze. Some of these objects were produced from clay moulds. During her career as a potter and sculptor, Nola Barron achieved success and acceptance of both her peers and the public. Her work also received the approbation of critics. She exhibited widely throughout New Zealand over a long period and sold work through a number of outlets. Her work is included in several public collections and she received commissions from both private clients and commercial collectors. She was recognised as an honorary member of both the Canterbury Potters' Association and the New Zealand Society of Potters. In 1977 Nola Barron was appointed director of the Canterbury Society of Arts (CSA) Gallery. This was an entirely different challenge and responsibility, which she found most rewarding. During her 10-year term (1977-1986) the gallery held an average of 90 exhibitions a year, attracting large gatherings of supporters. Around 25 per cent of these shows featured fine crafts in group or solo exhibitions. The gallery was also a leader in the promotion of non-object or performance art.

Dream Thieves The plot revolves around the discovery of a hallucinogenic mind-altering drug that is later called Delirium. Extracted from the root of an Amazonian plant Delirium allows two people, who have ingested it, to share the same dream. In that dream the two share a common reality, a fifth dimension, and what they do in this dream state echoes in the real world. The story begins with an anthropological expedition to the Amazon Basin to study a tribe of Indians who have had no contact with the twenty first century. The expedition soon goes horribly wrong when they are captured by the very Indians they wanted to study. During their brief captivity a Shaman forces the female anthropologist to eat a piece of tree root and though she is constantly observed throughout the night in the morning she claims that she has been raped. When the main character Costas Romero becomes a victim of this drug, he is able to escape into the rainforest. Eventually Costas reaches safety and in Tefè is taken in by a doctor and his wife. In Tefè Costas meets up with a lifelong friend and a female research pharmacologist, Ruth Anderson. Ruth is intrigued by Costas' story and offers to analyse a piece of the tree root from which the drug is extracted. Ruth sends a sample of the root to her brother Lee, a research biomolecular scientist in the U.K. Following the illicit analysis of the drug Lee Anderson prepares a number of pure samples of the drug he calls Delirium. Once the properties of the drug are known it is abused by Lee and others that use it to rape a number of defenceless women. Soon after two revenge attacks on Lee's ex-girlfriend, she and her new boyfriend are brutally murdered. Dream Thieves is a story of mystery and intrigue interspersed with both love and betrayal. As revenge plunges one of the main characters towards self-destruction, will the love he shares with another be enough to save him? A sub plot of lust and cruelty bubbles just below the surface whilst a sadistic killer weaves a web of deceit in order to ensnare the innocent. Will justice finally descend upon the guilty?
