Mark Melbourne
Mark Melbourne began his training at Muchelney in 1991 before fully joining the crew in 2002. Mark's personal work sees him regularly experimenting with form and surface decoration, with influences coming from African and English country pottery. He has a small workshop space where he throws, then fires his work alongside the Muchelney Kitchenware in the three-chambered wood-fired kiln, giving his pots their beautiful rich glazes.
