Describe your approach to teaching:
I teach by first demonstrating and then assisting students to copy what I have done. My courses are fairly informal and, whilst covering all the professional techniques, fun to do.
What inspires your own work?
I am inspired by many things, it might be a very old sample, or something I’ve seen in nature.
