Artists hone skills at McGregor workshops

Almost 50 artists were in Hervey Bay last weekend (July 11-14) attending the inaugural USQ McGregor on the Bay Masterclasses.

Artists travelled from across Eastern Australia to attend the four-day art workshops.

The classes were led by acrylics and charcoal artist Donald James Waters, of Jacobs Well, pastels artist Barbara McManus, of Melbourne, and watercolour artists David Taylor, of Melbourne, and Lyn Butchart, of Grafton.

USQ McGregor school art workshops have been held for 40 years in Toowoomba, but this is the first time they have been held at the USQ Fraser Coast campus.

The classes were all booked out and enquiries are already being made for next year's classes.
