100% handmade
The brickmaking process is completely manual, according to a traditional method dating back to Roman times. It is a completely artisan process.
Water is added to clay powder and kneaded to make clay. The clay is then shaped in a mould to get the desired shapes and sizes. The first stage of the drying process is done naturally while the second stage involves baking in a kiln to produce the final products.
