Describe your approach to teaching:
Through sharing my skills and enthusiasm I create a lively and inspiring learning experience buzzing with ideas and skills. Group and individual demonstrations and discussion develops work through supported and guided experimentation.
What inspires your own work?
Colour, textures, sculptural forms and the process of making inspire me, I love working with textiles, especially wool. My work is often about how a piece is made, looking at traditional skills and tools.
