Functional Sculpture is a ceramics studio based in Paddington, Sydney. Founded in 2018 by Tom Mason, the studio explores the intersection of art practice and functional objects, with a strong focus on material processes.


Functional Sculpture works with artists, designers, and brands on commissioned projects of all scales. From bespoke ceramic objects to large-scale collaborations, the studio provides technical expertise in production, surface finishing, and firing.
