How would you describe your approach to teaching?

Every student comes with different expectations and levels of experience. I enjoy helping them fulfil their potential using the materials and creative techniques available in the workshop.

What inspires your own work?

I am particularly inspired by the unusual beauty that can be found in agricultural debris and rural paraphernalia, but also the craft process which continually leads to new discoveries
