Wildcat Creek Brick Company

I have wanted to come up with a good name for my brick making enterprise. Settled with 'Wildcat Creek Brick Company'. Its named after a large creek that runs thru the county between the towns of Burlington and Cutler. The main focus of my business will be small scale custom and personalised brick. I will be offering wood and electric fired brick and tile in a few colors. I have a few surprises too.

Happy Thanksgiving, Interesting pressed brick history website.

Google searching today and came across this interesting site. A very detailed list of pressed bricks and their makers. Its great to be able to see examples of historic brick like this.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Finsh line! Done with the 50 bricks

I am done with the last 12 of the batch of 50 bricks I was making for Delphi. Now I can put my attention to making a few for a local art antique gallery.

39 bricks made, 11 more to go!

Its hard to see all of them, some are not in view. 39 bricks done, 11 more to go! These are the Delphi bricks ive been contracted to make and fire. All has went pretty smoothly so far.

My first customer!

Ive been hired by the Delphi chamber of commerce to make 50 promotional bricks for them. So far I with the help of my son have pressed out all 50 bricks and a few extras. 20 have been fired in my electric kiln to 1900'F with only one breaking. I should be ready to fire another 20 tommorrow if all goes as planned.
On another note, it looks like I may have a chance to show off a few of my Delphi and Carroll bricks at a local antique art gallery soon. Pretty cool!
