My name is Mel Johnstone, as a mum of three, I know how important creative play is foreveryone, my favourite past time with my children to set up an art project and watch their imaginations thrive, it is a time when I also find myself being fully present and engaged.

I am a qualified Secondary Art & Design teacher and have been running my own freelance graphic design business “Melonmade” for eight years. I teach Art & Design to 13–16-year-olds with the National Saturday Club at Falmouth University – a role I absolutely love and it is here I work with home-educated students and neurodivergent learners, offering creative experiences that are flexible, inclusive, and supportive.

Colour Club Cornwall is about more than just making art – it’s about building a creative, welcoming community. I’m proud to be working with Alma Art Space, running sessions in their beautiful new studio – a space that shares our values of inclusivity, imagination, and connection through creativity.

I am first aid trained and DBS checked, so you can feel confident your child is safe, supported, and free to get wonderfully creative.
