In 1963 the LEGO company developed a set of guidelines – a LEGO constitution so to speak – to guide both the consumers and the customers of LEGO. These10 basic characteristics become the core of LEGO development and guided the company. Number two on this list was to design toys for "Girls and Boys". The Women's Brick Collective wants to bring the focus of building and creating with LEGO back to women and girls. We are dedicated to inspiring girls and women to build with LEGO. We want to demonstrate that the simple plastic brick can be used in a variety of creative ways beyond traditional building. Through bricks, photography and jewelry we transform bits of plastic into items of beauty and magical worlds.
