Judi Z. in her pottery studio

Meet the artist

Judi
Z.

Judi Z. is the artist and potter behind Muddy Paws Studio, her small pottery practice in Bethel, Connecticut. Every bowl, mug, and pour-over begins in Judi’s hands as a lump of clay and becomes an object made for the rhythms of real life.

Judi’s work embraces confident color, useful forms, and the small variations that make handmade pottery feel alive.
