Growing up in a Victorian Chapel Jade Mellor's father converted into the family home, these ethereal surroundings gave Jade a love of the historic and encouraged a vivid and creative imagination.
Filled with a collection of strange objects, antiques and old tools from a long line of craftspeople on both sides of the family, they sat amongst the domestic objects of a building transformed into a new home in the mid 80s.
A degree in 3D Design at Manchester School of Art let Jade combine her background in art and fashion with new experiments in resin, guided by her sisters, Roz Mellor & Julie Mellor and their passion for making and learning.
The techniques she continues to develop push this medium and her further research into natural history, ancient civilisation and passion for nature's jewels result in exciting colours and textures in processes inspired by fossilisation and mineral structures.
