Millrace progress--getting close!

Greetings! We are nearly finished with the build portion of the Millrace Bridge! The exterior is complete and packed away, waiting for the contractors to finish the guardrails. I anticipate they will be ready for us by mid-August, which is just a wonderful time of year to install tile outdoors! Can't wait! I wonder, can you put a bit of dry ice under a construction helmet?

This week I am working on finishing up the interior panels. All the vertical panels are complete and the last of them are firing off today in the kilns. 4 of the 8 horizontal panels are finished, just need to let them dry, apply the colorants and glaze, and glaze fire (we are once firing these panels, which is saving time, and energy).  Below are some images from the narrative panels which go in the center of the horizontal panels:


All the panels are about 12x18". They look pretty good now, but I anticipate they will really look good under the translucent amber glaze.
Thanks!
