Angela Melanson

Wolfville, Nova Scotia Angela Melanson has worked in Nova Scotia and Ontario as a costumer in various theatres for eleven years. She is a textile artist and painter who has her own accessories and home décor line as well gives private workshops on various textile techniques. Her work is primarily focused on creating products from recycled fibres and locally grown wool with much attention to colour and stitching details. She is very much influenced by urban cultures yet maintains her sense of connection to her rural roots. Angela’s studio techniques include felting, needle felting, dyeing, stitching, screenprinting, and painting. Artist Statement Colour, texture and fibre evoke many different thoughts and feelings and are very much a part of the human experience; a way for us to bring forth memories of our past and to enjoy the surroundings of our present. As a child I was very much interested in all forms of handcrafts that my mother taught me. To this day, I am still intrigued by these ideas and skills and have woven them into the fabric of my personality. By combining these learned skills with my training in fashion and textiles I have created a line of wearable accessories, and home décor products. For the past few years, my focus has been on creating a line of recycled and felted wool products with much attention to colour combinations, design and stitching details. I have chosen to work primarily in an environmentally sustainable fashion as I believe that as individuals we all have a part to play in maintaining the beautiful world in which we live.
