Describe your approach to teaching
My approach to teaching is person-centred. I try to fully support the individual student during their learning experience. My aim is for students to experience clay in a new way that will enable them to achieve their full potential.

What inspires your own work?
I am fascinated by all ancient pottery traditions, but more specifically those from Korea. I see pottery as an art form that carries meaning and consciousness. I use ashes from trees and rocks to make my glazes.
