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.

Andrea Hainsworth reviewed: Three Little Birds - Fused Glass with Crafts in the Valley

"Another excellent workshop with Melanie. Each one is so enjoyable and different from the others. Melanie is so talented and knowledgeable and is happy to share it with you. Always on hand to give further instruction or suggestions, as well as providing delicious refreshments. I bought the Three Little Birds class for my 14 year old granddaughter, who enjoyed every minute. Can't wait to get back for another session!"

Leslie McLaren reviewed: Three Little Birds - Fused Glass with Crafts in the Valley

"I went on the three birds course and made an extra bird instead of two pieces of jewellery. Melanie is a very encouraging tutor and demonstrated the technique so it was easy to follow. There were lots of stencils to choose from and plenty of additional glass to decorate with. Melanie was on hand to advise and offer suggestions. Coffee and cakes were good too."

Jackie Tagg reviewed: Fused Glass Wave and Dichroic Glass Jewellery Workshop with Crafts in the Valley

"My friend and I decided to do something together for our birthdays rather than buy gifts for each other this year. We both love crafts and booked on with Melanie. From booking, to emailing questions to the day itself, it was brilliant. We had never done glass craft before but Melanie makes it so easy for you to follow, everything was provided, even extra cake. Highly recommend and such great value. Venue is light, modern and airy, but compact but ideal for what you’re doing. Ample parking and great directions provided on booking. "
