RAKU  &  FUNCTIONAL CERAMIC art

Ron Mello

I have been an artist and teacher most of my life. My focus at this time is full time studio ceramics. I work in functional stoneware and porcelain as well as decorative raku and primitively fired work. I have also dabbled in painting, print making, sculpture, and like my father, grandfather and brothers, I have worked with wood.

"Creating great decorative or functional vessels is not a superficial manual skill. It requires a deeper understanding of art, technology and function. This understanding combines a personal discipline of eye, hand and mind with depth of vision." *
