Who is Mel Reid...

I studied Graphic design many, many moons ago, followed by lots of  interesting jobs and travelling. I started painting after my son was born 18 years ago and then it just took off from there. I have painted everything from Guinea pigs to buildings. My preferred medium is Acrylic but recently I have delved into the world of inks and spray paint.

I started sewing by accident when I couldn't get my haircut due to the lockdowns, I dusted off my very cheap sewing machine and made some headbands. Friends and family went wild for them and that's how I developed a bit of obsession with fabrics especially African fabric and vintage fabrics.

I use resources like charity shops, local selling pages, eBay and fabric sellers to source my materials. I am always finding ways to recycle clothes, bedding & curtains in something brand new and bold.

I sell my art & textiles with a lovely local community project in Cheddar called The Arts Quarter

We have lived in Somerset for 9 years and we love it.
