These unique raku-fired ceramic pieces reflect the diverse and multidisciplinary experience of Melvyn. His prodigious career spans decades of design and artistic achievements.
Mel's background in art includes degrees in Architecture and Fine Arts (drawing and printmaking). For many years he practised architecture and continued to show drawings and prints in commercial galleries. Work in clay started in 1989 and he is largely self-taught in this medium. The results reflect his personal experience augmented by numerous international ceramic workshops.
Mel is represented by twenty five art and craft galleries across Canada and the USA. He is the recipient of numerous design awards. His work is regularly included in group and solo ceramic shows and is held in many individual, art gallery and corporate collections.
