Jude’s primary work is functional stoneware ceramics. She enjoys making objects out of clay that can be used and appreciated everyday. Form and function are paramount in her work as she was taught to create functional pieces that sit well in your hands and weight is also important. She chose to work with stoneware ceramics because of its durability.

Jude also likes to work with alternative firing techniques such as pit firing and saggar firing, using ceramic cylinders as a canvas to make the most of the different effects alternative firing techniques can produce.

After gaining a certificate in art foundation in 1991, Jude went on to do an associate diploma in art (ceramics) graduating in 1995 at Orange TAFE after 4 years of study, with her major work being wood firing using salt glaze. She chose wood firing because of the beautiful colours created from the flames and the glazing qualities of the wood ash as it floats through the kiln and rests on the pots.

She now works with her gas kiln using commercially bought glaze materials and clay. She mixes her own glazes and also uses local glaze materials to decorate some of her work. Jude uses ash from various plants and trees and experiments with ground up rocks, stones and also bones.
