Elevate your practice in a professional, collaborative environment…
This isn’t your typical art class. It is a dedicated space for established creators and art students seeking high-level feedback and a structured environment to advance their independent projects.
Join us for a relaxed and inspiring two-hour ‘open studio’ session. This is a space for like-minded creatives to come together, work on their own projects, and develop their ideas in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Bring along a piece you’re currently working on, a new concept you’d like to explore, or a project you’re developing. Throughout the session, you’ll receive tailored guidance and constructive feedback to help refine your ideas, strengthen your artistic approach, and move your work towards a resolved final piece.
Whether you’re looking for fresh perspective, technical advice, or simply the motivation that comes from creating alongside other artists, this session offers time, space, and expert support to help your work progress.
What to expect:
-
Tailored Guidance: Individual, constructive feedback to help refine your artistic approach.
-
Studio Environment: A shared creative energy with basic materials and bottomless refreshments provided.
-
Flexible Growth: Open to established artists and current art students looking to bridge the gap between study and practice.
The Details
Sessions run every Thursday from 1 pm – 3 pm.
The investment is £15 per session, or £75 for a block of 6 (includes one free session).
Perfect for artists seeking inspiration, thoughtful critique, and the energy of a shared creative studio.

Local artist Gary Carroll will be putting the final touches on the large outdoor mural he has been painting over the last few weeks on the side of the Rooftop Arts building. The final details and colouring highlights will be added over the next few days to complete the work. It has taken shape really well and has attracted a lot of attention and positive comments.
Numerous people have stopped by to admire the work and Gary, being well known in Corby, has met some old friends he has not seen in a while and renewed these friendships.
Dinah Kazakoff, the Rooftop Arts Gallery Director commented, “art has a way of bringing the community together and Gary’s work is a good example of that, the mural speaks to Corby’s industrial past and has also attracted the attention and admiration of the town’s youth as well”.
At 8ft x 10ft this is one of the largest paintings the artist has done and his work has attracted 3 potential commissions from local business owners who would like to discuss similar size works at their businesses.
If you would like to see the final stages of his work, Gary will be outside completing his painting during the Rooftop Arts open hours from 11am to 4pm.
