Describe your approach to teaching:
My main focus on whatever I am teaching (t'ai chi weekly, wood
engraving in the Summer and now ceramics) is the student. The
technique and the materials is the base and means to bring the
personality and particular interest of each person into the surface
and final result.
What inspires your own work?
My work is inspired in what I am reading at the moment, in what has
excited me lately. For example, while living in London the variety
of people and relationships between was my main theme; now living
in the countryside in Dorset my work is populated with sheep, cows
and pheasants.
