Kansas, Douglas County, Lawrence

The curved brick wall to your right is the outside wall of our twenty-five ton wood-fired oven. The masonry circle continues inside the bakery. The oven itself is from J. Llopis of Barcelona, Spain, and was built on site by master craftsman Manuel de la Rosa. The finish brickwork was laid by Ernie Fantini and crew. Lawrence sculptor Laura Ramberg made the decorative terra cotta tiles, both on this outside portion of the wall and inside above the firebox door. Kate Dinneen of Walt Hull Iron Work forged the three pieces of wrought iron grillwork on the outside of the oven. The oven was completed and first fired in autum of 1995.
