"Sam was the most amazing person making all of us from 50yrs old to 8yrs old feel so comfortable and capable! The most enjoyable course I have attended in the most stunning location- a huge thank you to Sam from Hannah, Stanley, Alex and Hazel x "

"Sam was absolutely brilliant! My sister (16) and I (17) had a jewellery workshop yesterday with a couple of our tutors as an end of exam treat. My sister has autism, plus we both have anxiety that can get quite intense at times. Sam made us feel at home from the get go! We were each warmly greeted with handshakes and smiles as Sam clearly introduced himself. During the course, he took care to explain things clearly, sometimes multiple times if we felt unsure. We were reassured the whole way through and never once felt uncomfortable! I really admired how Sam made sure to reassure me and make sure I didn't feel embarrassed when breaking a few saw blades as 'everyone does it'. He gave all four of us his full attention throughout and guided us through the experience. Sam was amazing! It was the most wonderful afternoon and we left with some gorgeous gorgeous rings. Such a positive experience of stepping out of our comfort zones! Thank You Sam! "

"Extremely enjoyable morning with my 6 year old granddaughter making bracelets (also time to make a copper ring each). Sam tailored the session ideally to our needs and had my granddaughter completely engaged for the full 4 hours. This was a winner, I would totally recommend"

"What an amazing day my best friend and I had. We made a spinner ring, ring band and earrings which were beautiful and very unique. Sam was the best teacher you could wish for- so patient, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. I can’t recommend this enough and I will definitely be doing it again. Thank you. "
