Describe your approach to teaching
My approach is to show how to create mechanical movements of different kinds. I keep it simple, practical and hands-on, suitable for all levels of ability.

What Inspires your own Work?
I like to make work that is amusing and fun.  There’s usually a visual gag in there! I also take inspiration from the sea making sinuous creatures out of rigid materials
