McGregor Winter School

6 - 10 July 2015

Workshop Location: University of Southern Queensland Toowomba Campus West Street TOOWOOMBA

The USQ McGregor Winter School offers a variety of visual and creative arts classes including painting, drawing, printmaking, digital photography and jewellery. Established in 1987, Winter School has grown out of the success of the celebrated USQ McGregor Summer Schools, providing an intimate and creative atmosphere for artists to learn and create. Offering between 15 and 20 classes in visual and creative arts each July, the Winter School attracts over 150 students from all over Australia to the University’s beautiful Toowoomba campus.

Toowoomba’s award-winning Japanese Garden is adjacent to the University, and students in all disciplines have the opportunity to enjoy the peaceful and tranquil surroundings, while painters and photographers often derive inspiration from it for their works.

The atmosphere is more intimate and intense than the Summer School, as students strive to fit the maximum amount of learning into the five days.  Classes cater for people at every stage of development, from total beginners to professionals who want to brush up on skills, have time to experiment, meet friends, or just have a break from their normal routine. The tutors are among the best in Australia in their particular disciplines, and in some cases, world renowned.

On-campus accommodation is available at the University’s residential colleges in heated single rooms with shared bathrooms. Breakfast and dinner are provided daily, so you don’t have to plan meals at the end of the day, go grocery shopping or do the washing up!

Release your inner artist in a relaxing, but stimulating workshop environment in beautiful surroundings.
