Samantha first started working with PMC in early 2007 and has been totally mesmerised ever since.  She is a firm believer that you continue to learn new techniques all the time and can always be found experimenting with new designs and methods.  With a burning need to learn more, she completed her Diploma course at the Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery in August 2008 gaining her Diploma in Precious Metal Clay Proficiency.  Along with her partner Paul and their two daughters, she exhibits and demonstrates at many craft fairs across the UK whilst maintaining her websites and running PMC workshops in the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire area.  Workshops are her passion – she loves watching her students’ faces at the transformation of clay into pure silver and she is always developing new workshops to cater for the growing need of her students to learn more and more.  She is a member of the PMC Guild.  Please visit www.saskiaroseworkshops.co.uk
