Ross Mitchell-Anyon was born in Orange, NSW, Australia in 1954 and came to New Zealand in 1964.

It was not until the 1970s and 1980s that tertiary institutions started offering ceramics through visual or applied arts qualifications. Before this, the only way to learn how to pot outside of teachers’ training college was through adult education programmes at summer schools or weekend and night classes.

From the mid-1980s he taught at the Wanganui Community College, later the Polytechnic, now UCOL.  Within the Diploma of Ceramic Design and Production course Martin Poppelwell and Paul Maseyk were two of his now best-known students.

Ross has been a strong and positive advocate for culture and heritage as a District Counsellor and was personally instrumental in saving some of Whanganui’s heritage buildings.
