Approach to teaching: I love to teach and have a hands on approach, as it is one thing to see what is happening but to actually feel the clay move is vital. Everyone's style is individual and I like to find the best way for each student rather than prescribe a set of rules.

Inspiration: The Sea and the sublime experiences of its uncontrolled ever changing condition are the fundamental of my work. Also techniques, glazes and colour all have a part in creating work; it has to be dynamic, sensual and tactile.
