Gryphon Gallery, 1888 Building During the 1970's and until 1994 the Gryphon Gallery, in the 1888 Building, exhibited art by College Lecturers. It was a condition of employment that lecturers in Art and Drama were required to be practicing exhibiting artists.
In 1977 Noel Flood (Head of Department Ceramics) and John Teschendorff (Lecturer Ceramics) held a two man show titled 'Recent Handcrafts and Other Objects,' making a mocking reference to the popular view at the time of pottery as craft. [1] The Gryphon Gallery also exhibited student work.
The 1888 building housed the Melbourne Teachers’ College until 1994.Features include stained glass windows and ceramic tiled portraits commemorating those staff and students who served in the First World War. [2]
