Brickfield explores how the heritage of Cornish brick making can generate contemporary approaches to the material. Our aim is to use the process of collective brickmaking as a tool for creating new connections, with each other, with materials and with the local landscape. In 2020 we received funding from The Heritage Lottery, with which we worked closely with John Osborne, the last man to fire the last working beehive kiln in Cornwall. Together we built a mini-beehive kiln and commissioned a film, a series of photographs and a publication. You can access a free pdf of the publication via the link below.&nbsp; THE BRICKFIELD GUIDE TO CORNISH BRICKMAKING BRICKFIELD BRICK COLLECTION The photos used in the publication and of the brick collection were taken by Oliver Udy.&nbsp; <img width="3780" height="3024" width_o="3780" height_o="3024"

I was interested in looking at geological samples that had been displaced or changed due to the industry in the area. I walked around quarries, up spoil heaps, along river beds and on beaches, in search of samples that had come to be in that place due to human activity. I spent five days looking at my samples under the microscope in the laboratory at Eden, with support and insights from the lab technicians taking digital images to record what I was seeing. Clay; its properties, potentials and limitations, has always fascinated me, and it was a completely new experience to be able to look at it in its raw form at such a high level of magnification. <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36966fbe3d3abc6a738984809ff05b4f2e9b59ca2e5fef715326546f3003cd5b/35FC12BA-A290-4A06-A3DC-A42595ED38C2.jpeg" data-mid="57552411" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36966fbe3d3abc6a738984809ff05b4f2e9b59ca2e5fef715326546f3003cd5b/35FC12BA-A290-4A06-A3DC-A42595ED38C2.jpeg" /><img width="5000" height="3750" width_o="5000" height_o="3750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/17a50aff77b381cc33adc2055a93b70896353c888b38036168481e3dfe673871/RM_11_o.jpeg" data-mid="57552412" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/17a50aff77b381cc33adc2055a93b70896353c888b38036168481e3dfe673871/RM_11_o.jpeg" /> Following this initial research I went on to create a series of ceramic discs, using some of the materials I had collected. These discs were taken back to Eden and placed in petri dishes for further viewing by both me and members of the public.

The microscope I was able to use was incredible, and yet there was always a bit of something that you couldn't fully see, and as such the process of looking was completely addictive. I'm hoping to further explore these grey areas, of unknown materials, unseen places, and our desire to categorise the world in the next work I make.

September 2018 A brick clamp kiln is the oldest way of firing bricks. Bricks are stacked in formation, a fire is lit from underneath and slowly the water content evaporates, the heat builds and the bricks transform from clay into ceramic. A brickworks existed on the banks of the Fal estuary between 1891 and 1907. Rudimentary refining within the china clay extraction processes had led to tons of quality clay being washed down rivers, silting up the creeks. The lost clay was noticed as a new resource and dredged from the river, mixed with sand, mud and soil and formed into bricks, which were fired on site in huge beehive kilns before being sent down river by barge to build houses in Truro and Falmouth. All that remains at the site of the brickworks today is a tall chimney, once used to draw air through the kilns to keep the temperatures rising. On Friday 21 and Saturday 22 September 2018 with help from Katie Bunnell, we led a brick clamp kiln firing workshop using the lost river clay. Over 60 participants were invited to come to the site, to collect clay from the river banks to make their own bricks, which were added to the kiln to be fired. The kiln was lit on Friday morning and kept alight until the early hours of Sunday morning, in an attempt to replicate this ancient process. The Fieldtrip was organised as part of Groundwork, a project organised by CAST bringing international art and artists to Cornwall. <img width="2874" height="1879" width_o="2874" height_o="1879"
