Happy new year!

I cannot believe it is 9 days in already! After a great break at Christmas and New Year I have been busy researching for new stockists and the perfect location for my Seasonal Coffee Shop in Scotland.

2Ol5 is the year of Self Employment! I am scared and excited but determined to make my business a success, so to keep myself disciplined I thought I’d share a few goals with you that I would like to achieve this year…

• Open my Seasonal Coffee Shop
• Have 5 UK stockists by the end of 2Ol5
• Improve my social media skills – including Pinterest & Instagram
• Find a reliable courier that insures pottery
• Make an easy to use shop on my website
• Develop all pottery ranges

I think that is enough to get me started!

May this be a prosperous year for us all.

Good Morning!

If you were lucky enough to get a Tea with Jud gift in your stocking this year I hope you liked it! Here are a few special Christmas commissions I have been working on over the past few months. It has been exciting keeping it all a secret!

This week i am finishing off all my Christmas orders, anybody waiting for a delivery, do not fear, all will be ready in time! I am also happy to tell you i will be at 2 more fairs before Christmas, my last 2 fairs of 2O14.

1.This Saturday 13th december at Stranmillis College Christmas Fair, Belfast, 12 noon – 3.30pm

2. Next Saturday 20th december at The Dock Market, Titanic Quarter, Belfast, 11 – 4pm

maybe i will see you there… if not, Merry Christmas! Enjoy the seasons festivities.

In October I was at the “Fine and Dandy” market in the Crescent Arts Centre. I was approached by a lovely lady called Catriona Burns, who was writing a piece for Craftseller Magazine  on artists and crafts people who sell their work at markets in the city.

December’s issue has just been released and I was delighted to see not one, but two pictures of my stall in the article, and i’m wearing my favourite pink cardigan!

If you haven’t been to the Fine and Dandy Market, you really should go, it’s marvellous!

 

Tea with Jud is delighted to announce her first stockist!

Items are on display and available  to purchase in The Craft Shop at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. Wohooo!

Aside from nearly losing my whole body weight in sweat at Flow Studios on Culture Night i had a fab time. I’ve never seen Belfast like it. I loved it! Thanks to everyone who came and chatted to me, purchased pots and signed up to my mailing list. Continue reading Thank you Culture Vultures
