A fun, low-pressure setting

Everything is colourful in Katy’s studio so there is lots to look at and be inspired by. There are loads of different materiasl to use and we love working with her because it is fun and creative. She is really good at history and she always thinks of the best things to do. Katy is a teacher, a doctor, and an arts-and-crafts person, and it is cool to have a teacher with two jobs and one really good hobby!
Dot and Buddy, aged 10 and 7
We like to do arts and crafts with Katy. We like it because we make lots of new things. We like drawing, sticking things and cutting. We get to use lots of different things and Katy helps us if we get stuck. We feel really happy when we are doing arts and crafts with Katy. We liked making love hearts and bees for Auntie Polly.
Daisy and Belle, aged 6 and 4
We love doing arts and crafts with Katy because we got to draw lions, fish hooks, the heart of Te Fiti, a Puss and Boots sword and Woody from Toy Story. Katy can make anything we want. We would give Katy 100 stars!

Woodbridge Project

Can you see the buried treasure?

The Woodbridge project explores the history of Woodbridge. Students create a layered abstract painting with each layer representing a different period of Woodbridge's past.

This project starts in the 6th century with buried Anglo-Saxon treasure and journeys all they way through to the 18th and 19th century when Woodbridge was a ship-building and industrial centre.
