Describe your approach to teaching.

I hope you will be able to relax and engross yourself in the basketry process and fall in love with the basket you emerge with.

What inspires your own work?

I love working in the ancient woodland that I manage and being out in the Cumbrian landscape. Basketmaking allows me to understand this environment in a new way.
