Jude has been a potter since the early 1980’s, starting with study at TAFE and University, combining her new passion with family life. Coupled with this is her long association with the Tasmanian Ceramic Association (she is a Life Member). She is a founding member of Off Centre collective in Salamanca Arts Centre, with its primary focus on pottery, and a casual Salamanca Market stallholder.

An ex-high school teacher, Jude now teaches pottery in her Lindisfarne studio, and has previously taught Adult Education, children, adults with memory loss, new migrants and many others.

Jude’s pottery includes maiolica with gold lustre, porcelain (water etched, or decorated with cobalt underglaze pencil) and tissue transfer collage. Pattern is the primary focus, with motifs influenced by the patterning of shells and butterflies in particular. Her work is thrown, pinched or slabbed.
