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.

Harvey Franklin reviewed: Fused glass bowl and dichroic glass jewellery in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire

"We attended the half day glass bowl and dichroic jewellery course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Mel is very informative and a good teacher. We were amazed at the final bowls and would definitely look into another of Mel's courses. P.s. the cake and biscuits went down a treat as well! Harvey and Lyns"

"Excellent intro to wet felting - small group who were all lovely and Melanie our tutor was welcoming, kind and explained things clearly. Will definitely sign up for another course as her workshop is spectacular with a wide range of other crafts to try out. 😀 "

Louise J reviewed: Three Little Birds - Fused Glass with Crafts in the Valley

"I made the fused glass little birds on Sunday morning, 3rd of March. Such a lovely friendly class, everything explained, lots of choices. And opportunities for creativity. I've been to several of Melanie's classes, always enjoyable. I go with my friend, and we complete the day by lunching and shopping in Hebden Bridge. "

"I really enjoyed this course. My friend bought it as a birthday present. It was just a morning but was such a lovely experience. Melanie is great, so knowledgeable, patient and gave us a lot of advice and guidance during the whole morning. I can’t wait to see how our work turned out. I would love to go again for a different course. "
