People are central to my work. I am interested in the master-apprentice relationship and I have spent many years sourcing and locating the people who can help me in my quest to learn and develop new skills. I have worked in France, Peru and Cyprus and I have been introduced to many exciting traditional crafts. My philosophy is grounded by a mutual benefit and I hope that through 'Sharing the Making' I can help create a platform for makers that might otherwise not exist. Principally through the MA programme, I hope to explore 'The Old Masters' drawing principles and delve into the inductions, workshops and seminars within University to develop my print and pattern concepts into completed works.
