Sunday, October 21: Making bricks

Today's workshop was a blast! Our four participants worked together to make six bricks. First, we assembled the wooden molds, screwing the sides together. Then we painted the insides of the molds with olive oil so the bricks would be easy to release once dry. As we mixed our cement, we added some mortar colouring to make each brick a different colour. Finally, we were ready to pour the cement into our molds. Once the cement dries, we can pop the bricks out of the molds and they'll be ready to use!

Join us on Saturday, October 27 from 2-4 p.m. for our woodworking workshop.
