Veronica Newman specialises in fine handthrown porcelain that exploits the delicacy and translucency of the clay. As well as individual translucent bowls and vases, Veronica makes domestic ware including mugs, jugs, teapots and dinner sets in various designs and makes 1/12th scale dolls’ house pots. Commissions are welcome.
Decoration uses slips and oxides which are sponged, slip-trailed or marbled. The different ranges include bowls and vases with altered rims that echo flower shapes, and pots with coloured clay overlaid to give effects reminiscent of the Moray Firth landscape seen from her workshop. Others have layers of sponged slips and oxides that reflect the colours of the seasons. Fired in an electric kiln, most pots are fully glazed and a few are lustred.
A leading archaeologist’s daughter, Veronica is influenced by ancient Greek pottery and she researches the production of Mycenaean and Minoan vases and stirrup jars. She is fascinated by natural and man-made patterns and inspired by the changing colours of the Scottish landscape.
Veronica started working in earthenware before changing to porcelain. She sells from her workshop near Nairn and in selected shops and galleries. She has exhibited with the Scottish Potters Association since 1982 and at Potfest Scotland since 1998.
