It’s time for terracotta: Sourcing proudly South African Klay products

Clay bricks have truly humble beginnings. The earliest bricks date back to 7 000 BC and were unearthed beneath the ancient city of Jericho. These simple, hand-shaped mud bricks were sundried in the open air. Ancient builders, artists and potters discovered that the clay became stronger when fired, and terra-cotta (baked earth) was born.
