Roundels by Sandor Dobany and Glasgow School of Art Students

This project was commissioned by Carronvale Homes in association with the Council, and the roundels were installed at The Grange in Alloa.

Two of the circular mosaics were created by internationally renowned Hungarian porcelain artist, Sandor Dobany. Sandor then tutored second and third year ceramic art students through a design competition to win the chance to create the other three ceramics.
