Ellie Birkhead (@elliebirkheadmakes), a British grad from Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands, has come up with a way to make bricks using local materials specific to the Chiltern Hills in southeast England. Aptly named 'Building The Local', the bricks are made by mixing clay with human hair from a hairdresser, horse poo, glass bottles from the local watering hole, straw ash from a farm and spent grain from the brewery down the road. Working with the last remaining brickyard in the region, Ellie is trying to revive local cultural identity and manufacturing. 👏
