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.

"We enjoyed a fabulous day with Melaine on the Felted Picture workshop. We were all beginners and Melanie was so patient, knowledgeable, unassuming, approachable and friendly and had a lovely sense of humour. She has amazing resources to use and we each made a picture we are delighted with. We would definitely book another workshop with her.Thank you so much x"

Vickie Mellor reviewed: Fused Glass Lanterns with Crafts in the Valley

"This was the 3rd course I have undertaken with Melanie and all 3 have been excellent, but this was the best. Melanie is an excellent teacher and explains things so you are learning what does and does not work. Everything is well set out so time is not wasted and the advice means that even if you are not very artistic you end up with a superb creation. I have no hesitation in recommending her courses to anyone. It’s a wonderful way to be creative and spend quality time. I can’t wait for the next one."
