Hello from Melanie

Hello, I'm Melanie and I run the Creation Station franchise for Mid Sussex. I'm a parent to three daughters and a son, so I know first hand what its like to find fun classes and activities that spark their natural curiosity and develop their growing minds. Plus, I know the value of meeting other like-minded parents and spending good, quality time with grown ups. That's why I'm delighted to be able to help you with this through a whole range of our award-winning craft classes such as our lovely newborn keepsake classes, our preschool baby and toddler classes, arty birthday party entertainment, after school clubs, family fun classes and lots of other events. We also have some fantastic adult craft classes to give you a bit of time away from the kids. You can find out more about all our children's art and craft classes, rainy day activities and everything else going on in and around my area by clicking on the arts and crafts activities that interest you below. Or drop me an email and I'll be happy to help. You can choose the dates that suit you best and book on line for ease and convenience. To be the first to receive news of classes, events and special offers, please like my Facebook page to be sure not to miss out on our new creative updates.

About Melanie


Why I decided to run my own Creation Station. 
For some time I had been hankering after an opportunity to start my own business. To do something I love, that fuelled my creative nature, involved sharing my passion for colour and inspiring others to develop confidence and skills through art and crafts. As a mum I was also looking for something that would enable me to be home more, that I could involve my own children in, that I felt made a difference and was an ethical positive work model to be involved in.  I couldn't believe my luck when I stumbled upon The Creation Station franchise and the more I looked into the franchise the more I felt it was the right business path for me.   After attending a discovery day I knew this is what I had be seeking to fulfil many of my personal goals, from being my own boss, becoming employer, to sharing a love for all things creative and the excuse to buy lots more craft materials! 

What I did before I ran my own Creation Station. 
I worked as a senior support officer for adults with multiple disabilities. 

What I love about running my own Creation Station.   
I love that I'm sharing my passion for exploring colour and all things shiny. It's rewarding seeing happy smiling faces of children and adults alike when they are in the thick of making and creating. The creation station has give freedom to choose how my business develops and a sense of achievement from running my Franchise. 

Something you probably don’t know about me. 
I'm a qualified children's gym instructor. 

Things I love doing. 
Making & creating, up-cycling/repurposing furniture, walking, reading, singing (badly), raising my family, diy, cooking and eating.  

My favourite joke.  
Knock Knock,  who's there?  You.  You who.  

My favourite food.  
My Mums roast dinner.

My 14th month old loved the Spooktacular session and so did I! A great range of messy activities with a great pair of bright overalls to protect the little ones clothes. It was also great that we got to bring some of his art work home with us. Melanie is clearly passionate about her classes and very generous with resources.
