If anyone has noticed my absence from blogging since August, it is due to my entering graduate school for an MFA. As a result, I work on brick ovens in the day and graduate work at night.
Occasionally, the two may intersect as stonework is one of my art forms.
The technical aspects of building a brick oven continue in the making of the oven face, but here is where artistry can have it's day.

Humans are hard-wired to respond to cultural connections, textural surfaces, and color.
Each of these plays a part in the design and material choices for your brick oven.
