Winning

• Digging for clay may be found wet or dry or in
  any stage in between. In its dry state it may
  look like rocks in its wet state, like mud.

Preparation

• Preparing the clay for shaping.
• Mixing by proper level of water, it will reduce
  cracking during drying.

Shaping

• Moulding of the bricks by hand.
• The bricks must be the same size or there will be
  problems matching the construction of different
  sections of the building.

6
Drying

• Bricks are placed in open air and in kilns.
• In drying, water will remove must.

7
Firing

• A clamp is a field kiln built from the green
  bricks that will be fired.

  and firing process.
