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 had a fabulous day with Melanie.
Great fun and learnt so much.
Very pleased with my finished picture.
Would certainly recommend this course and the venue.
We will be back."
"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 "
"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. "
"A really brilliant course with just the right amount of teaching and letting you experiment. I came away inspired and wanting to do more! Melanie is a great teacher."
