Hi, my name is Melanie, the artist and designer behind Hidden Button Workshops

My passion for art started at a young age in primary school. Being dyslexic I found other subjects at school challenging but studying visual arts seemed to be the only way I could express myself and find out what I was passionate about.

After completing year 12 I was accepted into the National Art School in Sydney, to study a Bachelor of Fine Arts. This led me to major in ceramics for the next four years, extending my studies with an Honours degree, graduating with a high distinction.

In 2013 I moved back to the Central Coast where I grew up, to start a family but also to start my future in ceramics. Since then I've been working hard, not only as a full-time mum raising two beautiful girls but also working towards my small business in macramé and ceramics.

Great class. Nice venue. We made simple pottery items. Our teacher was well organised, friendly, and explained the process well. Lovely way to spend an afternoon with a friend.

This was a fantastic way to spend a Thursday evening. The class was as fun or as technical as you wanted it to be, and Mell was fantastic and extremely helpful. Highly recommend.
