Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to create a bespoke trail for the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh, which seems to have gone down well. The National Gallery in London were suitably impressed and so I am now creating a “Katie” trail for the Trafalgar Square gallery. This time I have a co-author, […]

SPLAT! A secret revealed…
Over the past few months I have hinted at a TOP SECRET PROJECT and now I am able to reveal what it is. After a few weeks of meeting and discussions I have agreed to licence the theatrical rights in Katie to SPLATS ENTERTAINMENT.This is a theatre, circus and education company who specialise in small […]
Children’s Classical Concert – news and reviews
While Katie has been basking in the the glory of her 21st anniversary celebrations in Paris and at the National Galleries this year, her little friend Ella Bella has been having her own fun. On Sunday 7th November, two performances of “Stories from the Ballet” took place in Hatfield, both really well attended, and you […]
Gifts from the Gallery…
Jackie Morris asked me yesterday what was the best thing about my week-in-residence at the National Gallery in London. The answer was easy. Despite the fantastic colleagues, the glorious surroundings and the world-famous art, it was the children who made every day so memorable. There were so many lovely little characters, and as always, it […]
When I was "Surprised" at the gallery!
Today was the last children’s workshop at the National Gallery, and it rushed by so quickly. I still have the adult workshop tomorrow, but I’m going to be sad when this week is over. I’ve met some wonderful people, revived old friendships, and seen the glow of inspiration in the happy faces of, literally, hundreds […]
The next generation: Children’s art from the National Gallery
I love the way children draw and paint but even taking that into account I’ve been blown away by the extraordinary work children have been creating this half term at the National Gallery. Definitely a great new generation of artists coming our way, and what lucky children to take part in these free workshops at […]
A week at the National Gallery!
Tomorrow I go to the National Gallery in London to set up everything ready for four days of workshops there during this half term. I am so excited! A couple of weeks ago, outside the gallery on the “fourth plinth”, was a beautiful ship in a bottle. As the theme of the workshops is the […]
Parisian Pictures
After a week or so with Tonsillitis, I am at last getting around to posting more about the Katie celebrations in Paris. The area of the Seine was popular with many impressionist paintings and it was lovely that the local authories had had the sense to put reproductions of relevent pictures at the correct spots […]
Happy Birthday Katie… in Paris!
Yesterday I returned from an exhilarating trip to Paris, where I had been invited to speak at The British School of Paris. The trip was so easy and enjoyable I’m rather embarrassed to admit that I have never been to Paris before. What a city! The simply wonderful librarian Janee, and her generous and warm […]
Katie at the National Gallery in London!
Summer is over, and a busy and exciting autumn lies ahead, with festivals, concerts and signings. The biggest series of planned events will be a spectacular celebration of Katie’s 21st anniversary at the very place where her story begins: The National Gallery in London. I will be there for four days in half term leading […]
