MELLIS ARTS
Mellis Arts came about in 2012 through the efforts of Sally Tyley and a small group of like-minded people. The local 'Railway Tavern' offered their backroom to the art club as a permanent gallery which is open whenever the tavern is open and now contains a lively mix of arts and crafts work by the members. The gallery has for sale original paintings in all mediums, prints, artistry in wool and quilting, metalwork, stained glass panels, ceramics, and hand-made musical instruments. This group seems to have disbanded by 2024. Exhibitors and members of Mellis Arts included Susan Adcock, Frances Beasley, Phil Cunningham, Nicolette Hallett, Roy James, Angela Lee, Kay Lucas, Val Meyer-Hall, Peter Swaffer and Sally Tyley.
