Describe your approach to teaching:
I believe in the importance of passing on the skills of technique.
This is my starting point and from there it's an organic and
creative process.
What inspires your work?
I am constantly inspired by the natural world, the passage of time
and the elemental force of life. The alchemy of firing clay. Maps,
Oceans, sounds, erosion and growth.
