Bringing my stencilling goodness to you

I’m delighted to say the word is spreading about the popularity of my workshops and stencil printing!

Increasingly I am being invited to host events in various corners of the UK and even overseas. These events find their home in settings such as arts and creative centres, sewing schools, print studios, artisan workshops, art and craft retreats, and museums.

The very nature of my botanical designs and printing projects lend themselves perfectly to collaborating with other artisan businesses, especially those that are nature inspired. If you’re a garden centre, flower grower, florist or destination venue that runs workshops and events, my courses might be the perfect fit for you.

 

With the opportunity to combine the stencils with embroidery, hand sewing and textile projects, quilting and embroidery groups can introduce a new exciting hand printing technique to their members.

We are always delighted to welcome Melanie to the museum to run one of her wonderful workshops. The attention to detail and creative planning that she puts into her work shines through and results in a professional, well-paced workshop that allows everyone to achieve a fantastic outcome.

Melanie always provides wonderful imagery and social media content to promote her events and supports us wherever she can with additional literature where needed.

Women who have attended workshops often comment about their improved mental calm at the end of an event. The gently focused, repetitive nature of the technique makes it highly suitable for venues offering health and wellbeing activities.

I take pride in the meticulous planning and professionalism required for the delivery of successful events. In addition, drawing on my skills in photography and graphic design, I am able to offer support with the creation of high quality marketing and social media content.

Do drop me a line I’d love to hear your thoughts, or answer questions you may have about how we can work together
