Describe your approach to teaching:
In my teaching I aim to share my love of enamelling and many years
of experience of it's technical demands to suit each student's
interest in the subject.
What inspires your own work?
I am endlessly fascinated with the vitality, subtlety and beauty of
enamel on silver, and each of my pieces is an exploration into it's
possibilities.
