A bit about Melanie…

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than sharing my love of art and crafts with others.
Young and old — anyone can enjoy the creative process.
I love watching the joy on my clients’ faces when they’ve made something and show it off proudly with a sense of “I made that!”
I started playing with polymer clay and paper craft as a child and I’ve never really stopped. I love the process of creating, exploring and experimenting with different ways to create fun pieces that uplift and add colour and fun to our lives.

I’m a qualified teacher, a Girl Guide Leader and a self-taught crafter. I have an inclusive style of teaching and I naturally adapt to the learning needs of my guests, including the neurodiverse community and clients with disabilities.
Inclusivity is one of my core values.

I’ve worked with many different styles of craft throughout my life – cardboard construction, card making, scrapbooking, polymer clay figures and jewellery making, paper crafting and crocheting.

I spend my free time making all sorts of small soft toys using amigurumi style crochet, or unique personalised cards to celebrate the achievements and milestones of family and friends.

I look forward to working with you to unleash your creativity!
