No, bricks are made out of clay which is fired at high temperatures in an oven or kiln. Clay itself was formed when rocks were weathered, releasing fine particles of minerals, usually silica (sand is made of silica and so is glass). When clay is wet these particles are separate but when it dries the particles stick together. Very high temperatures cause a chemical change in the minerals which cause them to harden (the same happens to sand which becomes liquid glass when heated and then hardens)
