Australian Wood Review – June 2019

84 Australian Wood Review

EXHIBITIONS

S

turt School For Wood is the only school of its kind

in Australia. During the course of its 34 years it has

established a reputation for excellence and produced some

of the best and best known furniture makers in Australia.

In addition to a comprehensive program of short courses

in fine woodworking, the school offers Certificate IV in

furniture design and technology. This is achieved in a full

time one year course which is intensive to say the least.

The first Alumni exhibition was held in 2017 and

celebrated the work of 14 makers who studied at Sturt

School between 1985 and 2005. This year Alumni 2

presented new work by 16 graduates from the years

2006–2016. Some of the work presented is featured here.

Sturt School For Wood resides within Australia’s oldest

craft centre and is located in Mittagong, NSW.
