Founded by Tom Bass AM (1916-2010) in 1974, the Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School holds a unique position in the teaching and practice of sculpture in Australia. We are Australia´s oldest and most respected institution dedicated to teaching sculpture in the classic atelier tradition of master and apprentice. The Tom Bass Studio School is housed in a unique and atmospheric work space in central Erskineville, in the hub of a creative area. Help us to inspire, challenge and nurture the next generation of sculpture students and emerging artists.
