Describe your approach to teaching.

My approach is contemporary and creative – I love to discover new approaches to traditional techniques, and push my boundaries as a stitcher and artist.

What inspires your own work?

I am inspired by the materials of goldwork – traditional and experimental. What are the boundaries of goldwork? What can be a metal thread?
