About me

I am Fiona Ruth McLeod, I was born in England and grew up in Guernsey, an Island in the British Channel. At the age of 18 I travelled to New Zealand and took up pottery mainly to make a few friends. 20 years on I now feel I am good enough to launch into full time potter and artist status. At the start of 2022 I moved with my family to Whanganui and started McLeod Pottery more seriously and became a registered business. I make stoneware kitchenware and give pottery lessons. Being self-employed is an interesting learning curve but I am enjoying meeting lots of new people, learning more about my craft and sharing my love. Moving to Castlecliff has been amazing and has filled a gap which was the sea. Growing up on an Island leaves certain imprints in the soul and the sea was the imprint I longed for. I really enjoy the teaching side to my business and sharing my art.

Functional ware

All the work on this site is made by me. I work in stoneware pottery and some earthenware as well. I fire all my work in a gas kiln and make stoneware kitchenware. I love colour and incorporate it whenever appropriate. I live in Castlecliff, Whanganui New Zealand and the rugged west coast inspires much of my work and colours. You can find my work in Art Galleries around North Island New Zealand, Whanganui Riverside Market, Christmas Markets around Manawatu and from my Studio in Castlecliff.

I make a range of art for the Garden which is both functional and adds interest to the garden. I often use colour to add to the beautiful colours of the garden and to fill in some colour when the flowers are not blooming. My pieces are sturdy and can withstand the weather of
