Ross Mitchell-Anyon was born in Orange, NSW, Australia in 1954 and moved to New Zealand in 1964. His interest in pottery was initiated at Wanganui Intermediate School and at Palmerston North Teachers’ College he was able to begin working with clay. He completed his Teaching Diploma in 1975 and by 1980 he had become a full time potter. He dug and processed his own clay, built a wood-fired kiln and developed a style of his own.

From the mid-1980s he taught at the Whanganui 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.

In December 2021 he was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to the arts and conservation in the Whanganui area.
