Describe your approach to teaching
I like to create a friendly environment in which students are
encouraged to explore, experiment and develop ways to generate a
personal visual language.
What inspires your own work?
My own work is inspired by the histories and processes associated
with hand made felt and particularly with it's reference to the
human figure through early felt body 'coverings'.
