Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School is a unique centre for sculpture, based on a classical, cultural tradition that enriches the wider community with programs that challenge and empower artists to learn, express and inspire.
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 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 which fulfill 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.
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.
