“It was an inspired experience to see the pre-teens and teens step out of their self-conscience states to collectively create incredible pieces of art together.

They were so proud of their accomplishments, proving as such in the highest compliment one can receive these days, with selfies in front of the works of art!  

For many, this was one of the most fulfilling and memorable events at the school all year. Thank you Divya for your magic and your passion!”

Who Are We?

husband-wife-team-kato

Husband and wife team, Divya and Masahiro Kato, have been working together since they met in 2013.
They have both led lives guided by creativity and believe this is what ultimately brought them together.
British and Japanese by nationality, they draw on experiences from being raised around the world, with influences from different cultures.
Both with years of teaching experience: within the international school environment, privately and through public events and workshops.
What they have to share with you and your family or with your team at work, is an unforgettable experience reintroducing you to the joy of creating.
Something often left behind in adulthood and something that sparks countless ideas, conversations and connections.
 We look forward to meeting you for a workshop soon!

Family Drawing Workshop

School Drawing Workshop

‘Celebrate-Create-Generate’ – a day dedicated to creativity – the key words being ‘fusion’ and ‘flow’ – the fusion of the collective, creative process of each year group and the flow of students moving between activities and materials; following the stream of their own inspiration and ideas:
Colour. Lines & Mark making.  Collaboration & Team Work.
 
Each year group with different wants and needs – the younger elementary groups enjoying being tactile – plunging hands into paint and water – creating their own palette of colours and tearing up sponges to soak it all up and transfer to their canvas – what would they do with 2/3 Sumi lines? Where could this go? Now that’s the question!
 
The older elementary students at first observing, observing, watching a short live painting demonstrating this very crucial point of ‘starting wherever you are, it all starts with a line’- then slowly experimenting with all the materials laid out for them – they played a game ‘camouflage the dragon’ gaining momentum and boldness each time they approached the mural
 
Creating freely
Moving together
 
I was absolutely delighted to see them taking pictures with their completed murals – faces beaming, proud of what they’d achieved – it is my hope that the day gave them more than what they had thought they would receive
 
To unlock that precious place deep inside where all creativity resides and where everything that is first imagined can be brought out into the world.
