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.
