Jude Jelfs - biography
Jude studied Fine Art, and became a potter when she married John Jelfs. Over the last few years, she has returned to her roots, combining pottery with painting and sculpture in her current work.
Her ceramics range from flat, almost two-dimensional, slab-built vessels, in earthenware or porcelain, to 3-dimensional stoneware pieces. More recently, she has started working in bronze. Another new development is the use of colour in the ceramic "pot-paintings".
Some pieces are made in editions or series. Others, in particular the "pot-paintings" are one-offs.
Her work is on show at galleries all over the U.K, as well as in the studio at the Cotswold Pottery.

She is a professional member of the Craft Potters’ Association (CPA).
