When Ngan Gui Wang arrived in Canada at age thirteen to live with his unwelcoming grandfather, he was poor, illiterate, and bereft of his family in China. In school, he faced racist taunts and saw little hope for a future until his junior high art teacher recognized his hidden talent and Ngan’s life began to blossom. Wayne Ngan, Island Potter is an intriguing biography of a young immigrant who would become a master ceramicist and one of Canada’s most celebrated artists, lovingly recounted by his lifelong friend, Lois Eustis Tate.
What this author said about working with us...
I have absolutely no regrets at having chosen to publish with Luminare Press. As a person with an art background writing about an artist, maintaining control of the design of the book was extremely important to me. The designer who worked with me was incredibly responsive to my precise direction, and I am thrilled with the result. The same level of attention to detail and step-by-step guidance is characteristic of each staff member; each one has been respectful, patient and encouraging, providing information I needed as the process unfolded. I unreservedly recommend Luminare Press to authors who wish to exercise control over the production of their work, while accepting the knowledgeable support of responsive professionals.
