Leather Personalisation
Sam Burton, the Founder of Sure Shot, is a master signwriter who stays true to traditional craftsmanship, using his own brush and gilding skills to create stunning, one-of-a-kind signs. He proudly calls himself a "Modern Agent for Traditional Techniques" and specialises in hand-painted signs, custom lettering, and genuine gold leaf work.
We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Sam on several projects, most recently customising leather items for a valued client. This led to a conversation about expanding the scope of our work together, resulting in the creation of a few samples.
While there are some limitations on size and style due to the nature of the application process, Sam’s adaptability allows for unique solutions. Pricing is tailored to each project, so feel free to reach out to us or connect with Sam directly through his Instagram page:
