Mel lives on borders of Kent and Surrey where she manages a small woodland with her partner.  She has always had a love of nature and especially woodland habitats and loves to create with natural materials.  Mel has been weaving willow since first attending a workshop at Hever castle herself in 2021.  She has a background in education with over 20 years’ experience of teaching, and school leadership as well as being a Forest School leader.  Mel now runs willow weaving workshops as a Nature Makers franchisee.   Her relaxed, friendly workshops allow participants to take some time out from the pressures of modern life and find calm focus in the mindful craft of willow weaving.  You can see images from some previous workshops, alongside her work with schools and families, on her Facebook and Instagram pages.
