Brickwork is all around us and we take it for granted but there's a wealth of interesting detail with a story to tell if you know how to 'read' it. Learn about how bricks were made, how they were used, and the role they played in society. More detail at: jaharrison.me.uk/Talks/#Bricks

My career was half Chartered Engineer and half Chartered Ergonomics & Human Factors Consultant but I have many other interestes including: photography, fell walking, bell ringing, railways, bricks, human perception and maths. My talks draw on these wide interests and I have given over 250 talks to over 150 different groups. I'm based in Wokingham, Berkshire and can give in-person talks in the surrounding area. I'm also happy to do online talks. Details of each of my talks are on my website at: jaharrison.me.uk/Talks
