Thanks for the link, Mark. You've gone and done it now. Dan won't sleep for three days thinking about what he can do next.
The Anatole Hotel in Dallas has some massive brick relief sculptures around the outside walls of their hotel done in this method. They are not glazed in colors, but just fired, so that everything is the same color.
On one segment of the old HGTV series "Modern Masters", they had a person who did this type of work.

Mark, there's a monument in a local park that has children cut in relief in brick. It looks great.
I happened to go by while the sculptor was working on it. He had photographs of children at play. He would contemplate the photos and then whack away on the bricks a while and then go back to the photos.
I asked him if it is true that sculptors "cut away everything that is not the object, leaving the object" as I have read someplace. He chuckled and replied "Something like that".
Anyway, its a great medium for Letterhead sculptors. Vic G
