Describe your approach to teaching
When I teach I work hard to make it a rewarding experience for my students. Carving, gilding and sculpture are skills which can take a lifetime to master, but they should be enjoyable from the outset even to a complete beginner.

What inspires your work?
My work is inspired by the classical tradition of sculpture and ornament, particularly the European and British styles of historic sculpture and carving.
