About Me

Christian Herman: St. Louis, Missouri, United States; I appreciate, document, and collect historic face brick. I'm a maker of many things which I sell in my Etsy shop. I love the challenge of materials and design. Most of my work involves upcyling. I dream about design and resolve design issues in my dreams. Life is magical. I'm not available to answer questions via email about bricks. I'm rabidly possessive of my time. What I know is disclosed here and I wish you luck in your research.
