Approach to teaching
To discuss what each student wants to learn and achieve from the course and then to instruct specifically to each student how to achieve their artistic goals.
What inspires my own work
Fired enamel work has so many different applications and possibilities. The colour combinations are endless and having my studio in a rural setting in the Fens gives ideas for projects which mirror natures colours and creatures from dragonfiles to sea shells.
