Describe your approach to teaching.
Solving problems is at the core of my teaching practice. Sharing knowledge, offering guidance and exploring different methods and techniques are all part of the joy of this ancient craft.
What inspires your own work?
My own works are often creations inspired by forms and structures produced by the simplest lines and textures.
