DESCRIPTION	This relief is one of thirteen Works Program Administration (WPA) reliefs created by David Swing for the Arizona Exposition & State Fair. This relief, set into the grandstand, depicts two men making adobe brick. Adobe brick can be made by hand with Arizona's natural clay mixed with water, straw and sometimes manure. Once the materials are mixed together, they are shaped into a brick and then completely baked by the sun. Once the brick is completely sunbaked, it can then be used in construction of homes, missions and other structures.
