Armourer
WORKSHOP STYLE
Intricate, detailed, delightful.
SAM SAYS:
What I do is definitely addictive you want to keep on making the next thing. In childhood, I started tinkering with tools and materials in my dad’s workshop and the passion never left me.
The interest led me to a qualification in Arts and Creativity while informally I did an apprenticeship with a mentor who created the armoury for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Over the last 20 years I’ve worked various TV and film productions. I always make things on a feeling and try to make something as original as possible.
