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

About John Harrison

My career was half as a Chartered Engineer and half as a chartered Ergonomics & Human Factors Consultant. My talks draw partly on that but more on my many other interests including: photography, fell walking, bell ringing, railways, bricks, human perception, maths ,... I have given around 250 talks to 100+ different groups. I'm based in Wokingham, Berkshire so limited to the surrounding area for in-person events (but online can be anywhere). Details of my talks are on my website at: jaharrison.me.uk/Talks
