Maker's bio

I’m Melanie, I deliver a range of creative art and craft workshops in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. As an artist and craftsperson, I enjoy playing with fused glass and textiles. I’m inspired by the array of colour and texture found in nature. I’m a fully qualified secondary school Art and Design teacher with a BA Hons Degree in Fashion and Textiles. A workshop with Crafts in the Valley is a special day out, learn creative skills and de-stressing! We refer to it as Creative Escapism.

Jayne G reviewed: Crafts in the Valley - Felted Pictures Workshop in Cragg Vale, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire

"Had a wonderful day felting with Melanie Louise at Crafts in the Valley. We had organised a private lesson for four of us and we had a great day. The Studio was bright and airy and full of inspiration, Melanie was a very knowledgeable tutor and making the felted pieces was pure joy. I was extremely pleased with my results having never tried wet felting before, we will certainly be back for more. Thank you. "

Lynne reviewed: Fused Glass Lanterns with Crafts in the Valley

"Really enjoyed making the glass latern. Melanie is a great teacher, who gives you enough information to give confidence in what you’re doing. Lots of materials to choose from to make your lantern bespoke and personal to you. The venue is relaxed and comfortable, light and airy, with plenty of refreshments and yummy cake. Would definitely recommend "

Margaret White reviewed: Crafts in the Valley - Batik textile workshop in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire

"Thoroughly enjoyed the Batik course with Melanie. This was a new craft to me and Melanie made the whole process easy and enjoyable and I came away with 2 pieces of art which I am proud to now have hanging on my wall. I would recommend this course as it was excellent. "
