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.

"I had a lovely morning making a glass bowl. Melanie was a brilliant teacher explaining techniques clearly and concisely. I am very proud of my final piece and looking forward to returning soon to make a different piece. "
"I really enjoyed this workshop, following on from the fused glass lantern workshop a few weeks ago. Melanie is an excellent teacher. The workshop is really well laid out and there are lots of materials available to complete the projects. I am looking forward to collecting my items later this week. I thoroughly recommend the fused glass workshops."
"Had a fabulous day doing the Beginners Glass Fusion Day Course. Very enjoyable. Melanie is an excellent course teacher, very knowledgable and patient. Lovely relaxing creative day, thoroughly recommend."
"Had a gift voucher from my daughter and son in law for Christmas for a beginner's day course. Lovely light and bright studio. Melanie Louise was a great teacher, very clear detail of procedures with no faff! Really enjoyed my day - fabulous cake was a bonus too! "
