Today is the day the students get to start mass producing their bricks for their wall. Leading up to this day, the students worked  hard in designing their bricks, and furthermore the molds to create the bricks. They are in for a long day ahead.

It is now morning at Les Grand Ateliers. Its time to make!

 

Three people working on mixture by pouring water, mixing with a person's feet and a gardening hoe.

There were a few ways to make the mixture for the bricks. The students went in feet first to make huge batches.
