Welcome to this FINAL edition of my special series The Grateful Web: Rogue Studios 30@30 celebrating 30 years of Rogue Artists’ Studios in Manchester.

Today I’m joined by artist Martin Nash.

A long-standing member and director of Rogue Artists’ Studios, in this last episode of the 30@30 series before we open our doors tomorrow, Martin tells us about his work and the history of the origins of Rogue Studios, it’s journey and expansion through 3 different buildings and how our marvellous artists community came to our current home at the former Varna St School.

Having first studied Architecture and Martin completed a Degree in Printed and Woven Textiles at Manchester. This grounding in Architecture and Textiles, both arts which have a practical application and deal with the flat surface as well as 3 dimensional space and form, has informed the evolution of Martin's work. From his early days in a Manchester studio near Piccadilly, producing prints and paintings inspired by architectural shapes, he’s gone on to create public sculpture commissions, corporate works, and exhibitions across the UK.
