Biography
I trained as a sculptor at Leicester Polytechnic and Les Arts Decoratifs, Strasbourg. Major influences on my working practice have been residencies at the Tengenenge Sculptors’ Community, Zimbabwe:1992, and the Shiro Oni Studios, Japan: 2017.
I was at the forefront of artists in education & interpretation in the 1990’s, including residencies with the V&A and Barbican Gallery Education departments. I was co – founder of the artist in education initiative ‘Hand to Hand Arts’ and have several years experience of writing and preparing programmes of study. I bring a collaborative approach to curriculum development; actively leading programmes in colleges, school and community settings. I have plethora of teaching resources, physical and internet based, and use appropriate teaching methods to engage with students; accessing learning support where appropriate.
My own expertise is within the area of ceramics, stone carving and kiln-cast glass. I have wide ranging experience in a many design crafts including; mould-making, casting cold patination, metal fabrication, chair making, timber framing and stone carving.
