Artist J9 was sub­con­tract­ed by Steve Ander­son to do work­shops with kids from local schools around Alice Springs. Unglazed tiles were tak­en to pri­ma­ry schools where one class was cho­sen and shown how to use under­glaze and each child paint­ed a tile. Schools who par­tic­i­pat­ed in this project includ­ed Yipirinya, Aca­cia Hill, Liv­ing Waters, Ross Park, Yirara, St Philips, OLSH Traeger, Gillen Lara­p­in­ta Pri­ma­ry, Ross Park, Braitling, Stein­er and Cen­tralian. Each school pro­vid­ed approx­i­mate­ly 50 paint­ed tiles each for the project. They were then glazed and fired at Batch­e­lor col­lege before being installed at the pool. This art­work was com­mis­sioned by Alice Springs Town Council.
