Describe your approach to teaching
I am passionate about making and learning and want to pass this on to students through encouragement to enable them to thrive and grow in confidence as they learn to make.

What inspires your own work?
The gold and silver pieces I create re-imagine patterns I observe in my surroundings or other art forms, whilst focussing on an ethical work practice.
