TEACHING + WORKSHOPS

Specialising in the anodising and colouring of anodised aluminium, I have taught for over twenty years. I currently teach at West Dean College, Sussex, and Morley College, London, as well as from my studio, near Salisbury in Wiltshire.

I create a relaxed environment, where the emphasis is on play and exploration. Whilst I guide students with demonstrations and practical advice, each aspect of the course serves as a springboard for individuals to experiment and find their own direction. I support each student, to allow them to build on their skills and confidence with the material. Courses in colouring aluminium are suitable for jewellery, small sculpture and design.
