Welcome to my blog. My wish is for you to learn a little bit more about me and share in my process of creating. Coming soon, I will be posting a demonstration video. I hope you enjoy it!

Art Bio
Judy Mayfield is a Ceramic and Fused Glass Artist.
She specializes in highly decorative functional art, beautiful to look at and lovely to serve on.
Her extensive travels and deep connections to the indigenous people of the world took her to Peru and Mexico where she discovered that her drawings in her journal were not entirely her own. She continued to find her own images in Peru, Tulum Mexico and especially Hopi. All of this is reflected in her slip trailing of Quezacuatal, birds,
butterflies, flowers and Hopi images of the Sun God and the Rain God.
Her work is eclectic combining simple elegance, thrown and altered pieces, slab rolled pieces and slip trailing. All of her work is high fired and food safe.
Most recently she has added dichroic fused glass to her repertoire featuring beautiful jewelry, and small plates and bowls. The light of dichroic glass and its possibilites are very exciting.
Born in 1946 in Pontiac Michigan and raised on Puget Sound in Washington State. An ex-airline stewardess she has traveled extensively and lived in many different places including Gabriola Island, Canada, St. John in
the Virgin Islands and the Nevada Desert with Rolling Thunder, a Cherokee Medicine Man.
Judy has been a ceramic artist for 17 years.
