This weekend, photographer duo Married With Grown Ups were let loose in the studios, capturing the character of the old school building through beautiful light and architectural features. We feel very lucky Rogue Artists' Studios CIC to have the old Varna street school building as our home.
Thank you for visiting Chris and Viv we love your photographs.

SLIP
13th June - 4th July, 2026
Open Saturdays, 12-4pm
PV Saturday 13th June 4-6pm, all welcome
SLIP brings together ten artists whose practices explore the boundaries and possibilities of paint, extending beyond the flat surface and into clay.
Clay is Just Thick Paint, a phrase often attributed to Peter Voulkos, proposes ceramic surfaces as sites for painterly experimentation. In this understanding, painting and sculpture converge: wet clay, slips, and glazes are handled like impasto, built up, scraped back and reworked to create expressive forms where colour, texture, and shape become one. Together, these works propose a porous boundary between disciplines, where painting does not end at the edge of the canvas but continues, materially and spatially, into the round.
