At age thirteen he joined a sculpture class at the Brooklyn Children's Museum, taught by Dorothea Denslow who with her students, formed the Clay Club, and later The Sculpture Center. Lassaw also studied classical sculpture at the Beaux Arts Institute of Design, 1930-31, and attended City College of New York.
