Describe your approach to teaching:
Group discussion and exploration of the subject is combined with
tutor demonstrations, followed by individual projects to develop
confidence in using new techniques.
What inspires your own work?
My hand-built earthenware ceramics reflect a connection with my
locality and to the fragile and constantly changing environment,
responding to places as diverse as wild bleak moorland and bird
filled hedgerows.
