Lot #11: Vintage Sea-Foam Blue-Green Tortoise Shell Speckled Butter Dish

A pillar of Salt Spring’s ceramic community, Judy Weeden has crafted expressive stoneware since 1972. Blending function with intricate slip-carving, she creates vessels that reflect both the natural world and her own inner landscape. Each piece embodies beauty, harmony, and the honest, tactile language of clay. Artist Statement: “Clay is my language. Though my vessels begin with function, their true purpose is to express the rhythms of nature, the clarity of form, and the inner landscapes that guide me. Slip-carving, inlay, and patterning allow me to define each form with honesty and intention. When a pot stands and speaks for itself, I feel blessed.” -Judy Weeden Pickup category timeslot {A}
