About Me

Hello there! I'm Kat, I'm a fibre artist, which is a very official way to say I spend my days knitting. I first learned to knit when I was 8 and haven't stopped since. Knitting is an incredible hobby as it caters to a diversity of needs, skills, and artisitic vision. I love sharing my unique take on knitting with students and encouraging everyone to try their hand at something new.

Education

I attended the University of Kent for my postgrad, where I obtained an MSc. For my undergrad, I attended Florida University, where I obtained a BS in Psychology with a minor in Arts.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been knitting for over twenty years, and have spent the last decade in classrooms working with children and adults across a variety of needs (both physical and mental) to help them identify hobbies and activities they enjoy while promoting educational outcomes. For the past two years, during my master's, I have focused exclusively on teaching knitting.

During our lessons we will be using English and having natural conversations while creating something. Mediums can include: water color, markers, color pencils, acrylics, paper mache, 3d sculptures, air dry clay. Digitally: stop motion videos or other creative video creations. I also have a variety of different activity classes if you want to mix and match types. For example: cooking activities, playing games in English, guided walks with conversation. *Interested in a different activity to do in English? Just message me and we can create a lesson paste, based on you or your child's interests. *If there is a longer project, we can complete it over the course of different lessons.

Creativity, Self-Expression, Hand-Eye Coordination, Concentration, Self-Expression and Risk-Taking
Art education is a creative opportunity for kids, according to Abrakadoodle, a national art education program. Some children may not have access to art supplies or creative activities at home. By offering art education in the school system, all children get a chance to stimulate their imaginations, as well as their cognitive and problem-solving skills. After, they have to think through how they are going to make their imagined creations real. These problem-solving skills enable them to think creatively in other situations, which can boost their academic results.

Drawing Workshops And Artist Development For All Levels
I teach still life and life drawing classes around London to all levels and age groups and love inspiring alternative drawing styles and artistic expressions. I do not believe there is only one way to create a good drawing so expect lots of different techniques for dynamic line drawing and image making. I have brilliant experience in portfolio building so perfect for GCSE and A Level students or anyone else looking to apply to art based courses and create a stronger artistic identity. You will learn how to improve your drawing technique as well as recognise and develop your own artistic style - and most importantly have fun! I can taylor classes around your needs. I set drawing and research homework and have a brilliant knowledge of artists and art practices to help contextualise and support your work.

Art Therapy and Art Classes - a class by a MPS in Art Therapy and BFA in Fine Arts
I am a visual artist from Ecuador, I graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia with a Degree in Industrial Design and Accessory Design, and finished my Masters degree in Art Therapy at School of Visual Arts in New York. I have worked as an Art therapist and as an Art Teacher, working in various schools. I have also worked with adolescents and adults, in the United States and in Ecuador, therefore my classes can be both in English and Spanish. Learning English through art is always a plus :) When in my art classes, I am passionate about combining methods, modalities and ideas to create a meaningful and positive experience. I understand that the power of creation paves the way to better understand the self. Learning about new artists and their techniques is also a key aspect of the classes, learning from them and choosing what you want to take from their work. Art therapy is the study to better understand the self through art making, using the creative process to find personal strengths, in art therapy you will create to be present. In my Art Therapy sessions we don't focus in the final product we choose to focus on the process and how you feel while doing it. *If you would like we could do a group class, find your friends and lets have fun learning about different artists! (Max 8) If you are interested or want to know more, don’t hesitate to ask!
