If you have all the pieces and they are still flat.
For friday:
fire them and then mount them on a wooden board and grout them. =
it should take about an hour or two to do the mounting, or have a friend =
who
has done a little bathroom repair work do it in exchange for a pot.
When you have more time:
make a new one using thin squares of the tiles, 1/8th inch thick laminate=
d
onto a 1/4-1/2 inch thick clay slab. Put it on the kiln shelf before it =
is
completely dry so that you don't have to move it again.
hope this works. good luck with he show.
