About
Clay brick manufacturing facility.
Antiche Fornaci Giorgi is a production site for handmade clay bricks, sculptures, pottery, hand painted and decorated tiles (like “azulejos”), mosaics, and just about every other object that could be made of clay. The business is still alive and the plant manufactures at least 180,000 pieces every year, most of which are used in the restoration of luxury houses or in the construction of new ones. The oddity is in the completely hand-driven production process. Clay is prepared by hand, bricks are formed with wooden mounts, dried by sun and wind, fired with wood, and checked piece by piece.
