Are you in the right place? This is Home Improvement.

Okay, I'm sorry. If you want a brick wall, this is one way. If you used the right weak adhesive and just painted the wall with sanded, grout color paint instead of grouting, you could pop them off and skim coat.

A photographic wallpaper may get you where you want with just a paint job needed when you leave:

And, these seem the best overall value and ease of removal, the look is a bit clunky:

I like the styrofoam idea. Find a foam shop and they will help you find the right foam and slice it into a thousand brick-sized pieces. Throw a party and have everyone use their fingernails to weather it or scrape notes. Mount and paint.

Wondering about a deep skim coat and stamped concrete forms ...

Those bricks are for a fireplace not a forge and soak up heat instead of refracting it back to the forge. They can be used as the base for a charcoal forge. You want insulation or refractory fire brick. Kaowool works too, though most people coat it with ITC 100 not the stuff you link below which is also for fireplaces not made for the heat of a forge. Next your torch is only going to have enough output for a single knife forge. If that’s what you are going for great if you want to go any bigger or want to work a piece while the other heats then you’ll need a bigger torch. I’ve included a link to an instructable for a torch like mine. The main difference is I did not drill the hole for the propane pipe nipple in the reducer I bought a 2” nipple and drilled through the threads. Screw that in to tighten.

If you get the insulation fire brick keep it in compression or it will fall apart after a few uses.
