Wire Cut

Wires are used to create a slight drag
and lightly pitted texture, highlighting the
natural minerals in the clay.

Green Tumbled

Pre-firing, the brick is sent through a
tumbler, creating dents and folds that give
it an old-world appearance.

Flashed

Before firing, the extruded brick is stacked
(with or without placement to create set
marks). During the firing process, an excess
of natural gas is injected into the kiln. This
results in colors on the exposed surfaces
looking shiny, darker, or more vibrant.

Smooth

Clay is extruded through a steel die to create a smooth finish, giving the brick a sleek and modern look.

Dry Tumbled

After firing, the brick is tumbled, creating
a weathered, rustic look with soft
rounded edges.

Sanded

Sand is rolled and compressed into the
brick prior to firing, giving sanded brick a
glass like or matte appearance.

Coated

Powdered clays and other natural particles are compressed or sifted onto the clay. The same materials can be applied with a wet-based slurry before or after the firing process.
