Brickmaking 

There are five steps needed to make bricks:

The first step is called mining the clay. The early brick maker chose his clay, and digging it with hand spades. The clay was exposed to the weather. 

The second step is preparation of the clay.

Grind the clay into a powder and screen it to remove stones, kneaded with the hands and feet to mix all the elements of the clay together (tempering).

The third step is molding.

Take the clot of clay, roll it in sand and "dash" it into the sanded mould. And the excess clay removed from the top of the mould with a strike. Remove the filled mould and take it to a drying area on a pallet.

The fourth step is drying.

The molded bricks were stacked in a herring bone pattern to dry in the air and the sun. After two weeks the bricks were ready to be burned.

The fifth step is burning.

The fires were kept low for 24-48 hours to finish the drying process and during this time steam could be seen coming from the top of the kiln.

These bricks were used in the interior courses of the walls.
