Sharman Brick Sield

Sharman Brick Sield is located out in Jais Village. It’s a quiet place compared to the big cities, and we like it that way. Making bricks is old-fashioned work, and it depends a lot on the weather and the earth. We spend most of our time outdoors near the kilns. It’s hot and dusty, and your clothes are always stained with red clay by the end of the shift. We’ve been in Jais Village for quite some time now, and most of the people around here know us. There is something satisfying about seeing the raw mud turn into solid bricks after they’ve been fired. It’s a slow process and you can't really rush it. When the rain comes, we have to stop and cover everything up, which can be frustrating. We don't have a fancy office or a corporate structure. It’s just a group of us working the land and the fire. We eat our lunch under the shade of the trees and talk about the local news. Our bricks go into houses and walls all over the area. We don't do any big promotions or anything like that. People just know where we are and they come to the village when they need supplies. It’s hard work, but it’s what we know how to do best. We have been here for ages. The mud is good and the fire stays hot. That is about all there is to it.
