Describe your approach to teaching?
My approach to teaching is to try and communicate some of
excitement and action of working with such expressive materials as
clay and slip, to show techniques that I have learned that may help
people develop and create their own work
What inspires your own work?
One thing that inspires me is the power and directness of mark
making, in paint, clay, pencil, ink or slip.
