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. Recently, she has developed a series of one-off "pot-paintings".
Jude's work is on show at galleries all over the U.K and in Canada and the USA, as well as in the studio at the Cotswold Pottery.
She is a professional member of the Craft Potters' Association (CPA).
