Approach to teaching
In my classes I encourage students to experiment with materials and techniques to make the most of the course. I try to use techniques, which students can practice at home with easily available materials and limited equipment.
What inspires my own work
Texture has been a reoccurring theme in my work, using natural and found objects I print and impresses leather using the unpredictable and random nature of these techniques to produce tactile results.
