Describe your approach to teaching:

I aim to help students see possibilities, learn and apply new skills and express individual ideas. Together we explore how an understanding of tradition, purpose and function informs the making process.

What inspires your own work?

Letterforms fascinate me, their potential to influence the communication of ideas and impressions, both in historical and contemporary contexts. Words that are relevant to my current thinking and experiences inspire me.
