Here is the artist Kevin Brady demonstrating to Robyn how to pour the urethane rubber mixture onto the clay molds. This will be going on all week and we still need a few more volunteers. It's easy, doesn't take long and you learn about art. Call Robyn at 826-6753. 

Another panel in progres has Judge Lassing reading over the deed that gave the property that would later would become Lassing Park. A biplane from the airport is also in this frame. 

This panel is still being worked on. On the left it presents the story of how rum-runners were based in the Old Southeast during Prohibition and on the right has a fisherman casting his net into the Bay. 

This panel portrays John Donaldson, the first African American to settle in St. Petersburg a few years after the civil war. He was a mail carrier at the Driftwood post office and his son helped build the trolley line that ran over the Thrill Hill Bridge. 

This hibiscus flower panel will be placed in 2 of the larger bridge inserts. The bronze color on these molds is shellac to reduce the chance of the rubber sticking to the clay. 

This mold is of a stylized sailboat on the Bay and a sunrise. A common view from Lassing Park or Tropical Shores. 

This mold is of a 1930's era trolley like the ones that used to cross the Thrill Hill Bridge. This week neighborhood volunteers will be helping the artist Kevin Brady fill these molds with Urethane rubber to form casts for the fibercement panels that will be placed on the bridge. 

Mold of hex block with leaf decoration. This will be used on several of the smaller bridge panels.
