Enjoy the elegant forms and birds and the dynamic surfaces of Canadian ceramist Judy Blake. Judy’s specialty is smoke firing in its many forms: naked raku, sawdust and saggar firing. Tucked away in Lincoln, NB, she is making her presence felt on the national and international scene.

I purchased two pieces of judy blakes pottery when I was in Fundy bay area some years ago now but I still have the items and I appreciate them very much. I am sure there is a strong japanese inspiration in her work.

Judy has heard of Japanese inspiration comments before and is complimented by it. However, she says there is no direct influence. But WOW, what style and beauty!
