In loving memory of Judy Weeden, a remarkable ceramic artist whose work and spirit shaped the artistic landscape of Salt Spring Island and beyond.

For decades, Judy devoted her life to the quiet mastery of clay—creating hand-built pottery that carried warmth, character, and a deeply human touch. Her pieces now live on in homes and collections across Canada, each one a lasting reflection of her patience, creativity, and unmistakable voice.

This tribute film brings together moments from Judy’s studio, her work, and the community that surrounded her—offering a small window into a life shaped by art, curiosity, and generosity.

As Steffich Fine Art founder Matt Steffich once said:
“There are potters… and then there is Judy.”

In an age of constant distraction, Judy’s life reminds us of something enduring—the beauty that can only be created slowly, by hand, with care.

This video is shared in honour of those who knew her, those who collected her work, and those who continue to be inspired by her legacy.

With gratitude and admiration,
Kaeli - Head Unicorn Wrangler @ Steffich Fine Art on Salt Spring Island
