Bridge Pier/End of Week 4

At the half-way mark of our eight-week project we are beginning to see the results of all our hard work. "Lenny" is finished and we have started "Lloyd", the second of the three high-relief lizards.

We had quite a few visitors this week: Patty Machelor for the Arizona Daily Star (thanks for writing a great article Patty), photographer James Wood, Lorraine Hernandez, Bob Peterson, Professor Aurore Chabot and friend.

Much gratitude goes to Professor Chabot who is generously allowing us to use her kiln, which can accommodate 100 tiles at a time!!! Rebecca bought a 50-foot roll of foam to cushion the transport of the green-ware tiles across town. Let's all keep our fingers crossed!

Renowned ceramicist Angelica Pozo has provided us with lots of good information for mounting the lizards. Special thanks also goes to Kristine Stoner and Susan Gambel from Santa Theresa Tile Works!
