This is the most important stage of clay brick making. The bricks are fed into clamps or kilns and subjected to heat up to a certain temperature. Ideally, you should subject them to temperatures between 700 degrees and 1,000 degrees. This is to enable both physical and chemical changes. Making the Brick. After your clay has been poured into the mold and has been allowed to sit for 30 minutes, you should be able to easily remove the whole brick from the mold. Drying the Brick.
