Soda Trees and Violins
Bykaterattray August 24, 2011

We all know how refreshing it is to look at kids art. Unrefined, naive, thoughtful and completely original! Sometimes artists try hard to bring that naivety back.

Bykaterattray May 25, 2010

I had a wonderful time with my 9 students at the Ammerdown centre this weekend. It was hot and sunny and the gardens and grounds were looking beautiful, we had breaks under the dappled shade of a blossoming cherry tree , and kept cool in the workroom. The food was scrumptious as usual – large…
