WHO WE ARE

Tom Bass was taught to sculpt by Antonio Dattilo-Rubbo (1870-1955) within a traditional ‘master-apprentice’ relationship. In 1974, after more than sixty years of practicing his art, Tom founded his independent sculpture studio school with the aim of teaching the fundamental principles, ideas and concepts vital to his tradition.

Today the Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School continues to develop a range of innovative and challenging programs that fulfil our core values of

upholding the traditions of sculpture
promoting of public sculpture and
being a viable and vital part of the community

In 2003 the Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School became a not-for-profit Incorporated Association and is registered with the Register of Cultural Organisations. In 2018, we celebrated 20 years of our Studio being in Erskineville.

As a non-for-profit organisation we rely on private donations and public funding. We would like to thank our donors and partners for their ongoing support.
