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.

"My daughter and I had a lovely creative time together. It was a lovely thing to do together with a great atmosphere and we got spoilt rotten with coffee and a huge selection of cakes and goodies. Really lovely afternoon and we have beautiful lanterns and jewellery to remember it! "
