Artist Biography

Trained at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London (1945–47), he was awarded his National Diploma in Design: Illustration (1947). In the early 1950s he set up an artistic community at Hillesden, Buckinghamshire, with his friend Derek Davis and others. In 1956 he married the artist Martina Thomas and the following year moved to a house he built at Bognor Regis in West Sussex.
Mellon died on 14 January 2014 at the age of 88.
In 1958 he was introduced to making stoneware, and since that time he has devoted his life mainly to the research of decorating stoneware pots with figurative drawings and glazing them with ash glazes. By using ash glazes he joined the tradition of craft potters established in the early decades of the twentieth century by Bernard Leach, followed by Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie
