Fiona Newby Artist Message me for any enquiries, all my pieces need new homes. Hi,
thank you for viewing my page. Madam Cholet is a name my man Mark calls me.

Smoke firing is totally absorbing me at the moment, using foil saggars, the foil traps the combustibles which slowly smolder and burn, their marks leaving distinctive designs behind. A bit about me; I'm recently married thus my name change, sorry FKCeramics, but that's not my name anymore, so Fiona Newby is me, I'm a newbeeeee. All my pottery is fired to 1225oC, stoneware temperatures, and are suitable for outside being weatherproof. I take my inspiration from positive things, things that make me happy: flowers, birds, angels, boats to name a few. Also, the human form, especially the curves in pregnancy I find simply lovely, I had the honor of drawing a pregnant woman whilst at university, then being pregnant myself was inspirational, the shapes have never left me and feature in my coil pots. Recently I've been playing with wire and drift wood, I've been really happy with the results. I'm an avid collector of essential' things, these things will appear in some way or another in my work. Recently I've enjoyed designing my own cards, using many of my essential finds to decorate these. Life is a crazy journey, I appreciate all that I have, so I'm enjoying mine, whilst playing with clay. Fiona x

Today was the best way for a potter to spend a Sunday. A day filled with exploring throwing ( not thrown in nearly 30years) listening to inspirational speakers and demonstraters.
Special thanks goes to the very patient and kind I need to book throwing lessons.
for guiding my through my attempt at a tall pot, I was so proud I managed to create something that tall. Now might be the time to dust off the wheel.
so interesting listening to you talk about your potter journey and the Throw Down.jim always so lovely to see you, I could have watched you creating all day, thank you so much x
thank you for a great day.
great to see you all, love the display, I felt a proud pottery mama.
Love my pot from the pot swap.
I also purchased a pot, who could resist a Jim Robison pot.
Happy days 🌸
If you are not a member of the Northern Potters Association I can totally recommend 👍🏼🩷👍🏼

Thought I’d share…..
I was asked to write about my ladies, as part of a magazine take over. I’m a member of the NPA, Northern Potters Association, the South East is my region.
Liz Hewett is super inspiring and convinced a group of female potters to write about their female forms.
Mine is a real personal journey, after a lovely message from a fellow artist I thought I’d share my contribution.

What a difference a day makes. Today the sun came out, and boy you guys followed. Brilliant to see so many lovey familiar faces, totally amazing to connect with some fabulous people, people who get my work, amazingly want to buy. I’m a very tired but happy potter.
Thank you to the Art at the house team, your hard work has definitely paid off. Loved being in the woods with my Northern Potters family.
Great neighbours .warren

This is what a crazy potter does on a Monday…… revealing a fabulous beam and mullions in our bedroom, these have been beautifully boxed in but hidden.
The ongoing delights of our nearly 200 year old listed cottage.
Found some pretty wall paper and lots of hideous brown paint🙈🤷🏼‍♀️
Chill time now, before we camp out in our caravan tonight 👍🏼
