dragon ceramic mural at Caulfield Grammar, Wheelers Hill


above: A close up photograph of the scales arranged on the wall. Each scale was made by a year 7 student. They were decorated with underglazes and finished with a gloss earthenware glaze.


above: A close-up of the dragon's face. This was made by the artist working with some year 8 students.


above: Our finished dragon on the wall. The dragon was made to farewell the Principal Stephen Newton. As he initiated the Nanjing Campus of the School in China, a dragon was made to celebrate his connection with Chinese culture. The words above the dragon translate as 'dragon horse spirit', but signify much more.
