New bigstar brick pavers


Ive made a new plate die for my brick press. I really like the look of stars on old pavers and came up with my very own. They fired in the kiln without trouble. Went to 2025'F in a 12 hr firing cycle in my electric kiln. Im gonna make more of these and layout a patio this spring!

New products update


Some of my terracotta style tiles laid out in a simulated wall arrangement. The color variations are partly due to kiln location and temp variations of the firing.

Small star paver bricks arranged on the floor to visualize a possible layout. These are early test pavers and the finish is rougher than I will allow in final product.
Im excited over my newest paver. The larger star pattern is more interesting with the three dimensional detail. Im gonna be making alot of these!

A fellow brickmaker




I would like to introduce to you Tony Mugridge, a fellow brickmaker and potter.


His work is at least a few years more advanced along than what I am doing now. He is fortunate in that he has access to his very own complete historic brickworks. His work can be found on Facebook as well as his own website. I invite you to take a look at what he has done.
