Meet the Instructor: Melissa Mallet is a local artist specializing in traditional arts and crafts. Melissa is from a long line of makers and specializes in carving, leatherwork, floor loom, quilting, hand and machine sewing, and woodworking. Melissa has dazzled LaunchSpace with everything from a hand built kayak to delicate wooden flowers. Recycling, repurposing and upcycling are nothing new to Melissa! Melissa believes that passing on traditional knowledge and crafts to the next generation creates a sense of belonging and strengthens ties between generations.
