Describe your approach to teaching.
My approach to teaching is first for the student to fall in love with the material they are working with, then get onto techniques and tools to work with it.
What inspires your own work?
I am inspired by Japanese minimal design, the sophistication of Persian art and the innovative approach of British design to create both practical and beautiful objects.
