Describe your approach to teaching:
I encourage students, through observation, inspiration,
experimentation and practical exercises to explore on a variety of
textile techniques to further enhance their own practice.
What inspires your own work?
My current work is inspired by the textiles, dyeing techniques and
culture of Japan and the natural world, particularly lichen.
