Testimonials
My art teacher told me I was no good at art, so I hadn't done any art in over 40 years. I was doubtful about coming to the "Introduction to Acrylics" workshop but you made me feel at ease the moment I walked in. Your laid back yet helpful approach and endless patience with me resulted in such a rewarding experience. I am thrilled with my painting, I wish I lived nearer as would come regularly. You have made me start painting again. Sam, I can't thank you enough. Val, Wincanton.
Great space, delicious cake, amazing teacher, fabulous choice. You give the people who visit you the freedom to create. Worth every penny. Steph, Taunton.
How to describe our bespoke family art session? Fun, Fulfilling, Fabulous! You certainly had your work cut out with us! My granddaughter has asked to come back for her 6th birthday and I would like to come back for my 73rd! You matched the project perfectly to our varied capabilities and were so encouraging and humorous throughout. We laughed, we painted, we let go! Peter, Taunton.
Absolutely loved my sessions with you. You have an amazing space up there, the views are beautiful and your ideas just seem endless. I thoroughly enjoyed the mixed media. It was completely different to anything I had tried before, but really enjoyed the way you ran the course. Each week had something different and new to learn and you never made us feel we weren't anything other than true artists. I will be back for the next one! Rosemary T, Wellington.
I can't believe I have lived in Wellington for 9 years and not heard of you. You will be seeing a lot more of us! My 2 girls love your Saturday art sessions and have improved so much in ability and in their confidence since coming to you. I really enjoyed your Watercolours session and will be back for the Pastels! Juliet B, Wellington
Thank you for the scholarship tuition you gave. My partner and I were blown away by the quality and variety of artwork our two children came back with. Both so different and totally matched their personalities. You are a true inspiration. They were both awarded scholarships and their portfolio's were highly commented on - thank you. (years 7 and 9 scholarships!) Max and Ella, Taunton.
Thank you for your 1:1 scholarship tuition. Our son is over the moon with his portfolio. We would never have gained the scholarship if it wasn't for your guidance, patience and endless encouragement. Thank you!
Due to unfortunate circumstances, my daughter couldn't take Art GCSE. However as a past-pupil of Sam's (Junior Art Sessions and then Teenage Mixed Media) we booked some 1:1 sessions over several months. Sam worked with her to complete all the exam board requirements. These sessions were not only fun, but really helped my daughter in so many ways - she gained a 7 (A) in her GCSE exam. A-mazing, thank you Sam! I will HIGHLY recommend you to anyone!
Thank you so much for your art tuition you gave my daughter. She had been predicted a low C at GCSE and after 5 sessions with you received an A! She is over the moon, and so are we!
So glad I have found your adult sessions which are a total release for me. I always think I will do art, but rarely give myself time. Your evening sessions are perfect. Relaxed and inspirational, you are a gem Sam xx Sue, Taunton
Before we came to your studio, my daughter only drew/painted in black and white. She had low self-esteem and no self confidence. Your art journaling sessions have transformed her. We now have colour! She is happier, more confident and managing her anxiety so much better. The way you taught her to express her feelings through art is miraculous. Your kindness and empathy are humbling. I can't thank you enough. Julie, Hemyock.
