Currently I provide teaching, lecturing and criticism on an occasional basis to all years of the school on matters of design, technology, management and environmental design.

In 2013 I organised the School Forum, a lecture series dedicated to a subject of interest outside the school’s curriculum. This year’s theme was The Thinking Craftsperson. Contributors from ceramics, knitting, boatbuilding, design education, cuisine, costume making, willow weaving and jewellery debated issues around their discipline, relating their thoughts to architecture.
