Describe your approach to teaching:
My approach to teaching is to share what I know. I teach a newly
re-discovered art that has been around since the Renaissance and I
want to share my pleasure with students who are open to new ideas
and to experiment. If I can help them to master the techniques, I
leave the decisions as to what to make with this skills up to
them.
What inspires your own work?
The urge to make something new
