Describe your approach to teaching. 
I like to give my students a foundation of skills to work with and try to inspire and support them to create original work which reflects their interests and ideas. 

What inspires your own work? 
My inspiration comes from nature, and the objects I collect from car boot sales, and antiques markets. My work often stems from a combination of those two things.
