About: The DOMUS project is the construction in scale 1:50 of an imaginary medieval palace. It's made of clay, stones, slate, wood and other construction materials in the style of rich genoese buildings from the midd…

This is the way I made my first bricks for the construction of the Domus.

All you need are some simple tools (see below) and clay, of course!

The DAS clay dries simply with air, but you can use real clay instead, following the same steps and then baking your bricks.

Notice: this is not a quick method. Take your time to make your bricks and forget the rest of the world for a while. It will be... therapeutic!

Supplies:

DAS clay or other clay

Wooden board (a piece of a parquet in my case)

Wooden strip with the same thickness as your bricks (for the runners)

Glue

A rolling pin

Sandpaper

Metal file

Square

Spatula

Cutter

A lot of patience
