Winter is a whirlwind of creativity when Australia’s finest tutors and artists make the annual pilgrimage to Sturt for Winter School. Set amidst the inspiring natural surroundings of Sturt and Frensham campuses, the week-long immersive workshops offer an unforgettable experience in the Southern Highlands.
