Jude is a practising mixed media artist and tutor. She currently teaches small groups of 1 or 2 from her own studio, and also larger groups in both the UK and across Europe. She has also exhibited both individually and as part of groups in the UK and in Europe. Jude has taught Masterclasses at Festival of Quilts and worked as the Studio Manager with Leslie Morgan at Committed to Cloth.
Coming from a creative family, she has been ‘making’ for as long as she can recall. Jude has travelled extensively around the world and lived in several different countries. This has all shaped and enhanced her artistic practice. Excited by all forms of fibre, her creative journey has included quilt making, dyeing, hand and machine stitching.
Jude’s current practice focuses on Japanese Shibori techniques with Indigo dyeing. She also uses origami techniques with vintage maps, paper and cloth. Botanical printing on both fabric and paper is also an area of focus for her practice and teaching. Hand stitching will always be her first love and sometimes it feels like her hands have an in built memory! The outcome of her practice takes the form of wall art, books and vessels.
