Describe your approach to teaching:
In my teaching I aim to share my love of enamelling and many years of experience of it's technical demands to suit each student's interest in the subject.

What inspires your own work?

I am endlessly fascinated with the vitality, subtlety and beauty of enamel on silver, and each of my pieces is an exploration into it's possibilities.
