Judy
Weeden is a studio potter with 34 years’ experience with clay.
"I have been making pots since 1972. Over those years, many changes
have taken place on the national and international pottery scene and in
my own adventure within that scene. My work has evolved along with these
changes, although I have always spoken with my own voice.
My work always has been informed by a functional component. Over the years a decorative element has also become a major focus which allows me to speak beyond strict functionality. The pots have become a canvas expressing my own relationship with the powerful natural world around me and my experiences in it. This canvas includes not only the life I see outside my studio window, but my own inner landscape with its needs for linearity and order, compassion for beauty and light, and dedication to creating my share of these in the world. Ultimately I hope my pots speak for themselves with independence and fearless honesty.
In 2006 my work was chosen for a Niche Award in the hand-built category."
