Following on from the successes and contributions of Turps Painting Magazine and mentoring programmes we are delighted to have launched MASS Sculpture Magazine and MASS Art School in 2021.

Responding, in part from requests from artists, for a publication that reflects and investigates sculpture in a similar way to the discipline-specific nature of Turps Painting Magazine, and in part following on from the exploration of sculpture within my own practice, this is an inevitable development for both our publishing ambitions and mentoring led programmes. We continue to challenge the one size fits all; inch deep mile-wide; approach to art education that has developed over recent years largely for the benefit of the institution and has blunted the art school experience for both mentors and participants alike. 

I look forward to peer-to-peer critically supportive mentoring and engagement and a return to thinking with our thumbs.
