Today we are chatting with Jude Keogh
Jude is the owner and founder of Earth & Fire Studio Molong. Opening in November 2024, Jude provides studio space and pottery lessons to students and potters in her area. Jude decided to open her studio after becoming redundant from her job of almost 30 years as a photographer for the local Orange paper.
Jude graduated her 4 year associate diploma of art (ceramics) in 1995 at Orange TAFE, with her major work being wood firing, using salt glaze. Jude chose wood firing because of the beautiful colours created from the flames and the glazing qualities of the wood ash, as it floats through the kiln and rests on the pots. Jude enjoys the physicality of wood firing and the results are truly unique.
Jude also works with her gas kiln using commercially bought glaze materials and clay. She also chooses to create work using a technique called saggar firing. In this process Jude sources combustible materials and oxides and uses them to create surface designs on her pots.
Jude mixes her own glazes and also uses locally foraged glaze materials to create some of her work. She uses ash from various plants and trees as glazes. For Jude local materials create unique earthy colours and reflect the landscape around her.

Find out more about Caroline:
I am Caroline Jones, a transformative healer and I combine my skills of energy healing, Reiki, Shamanism, Crystal Healing, Akashic Record retrieval, Channelling and balancing subtle anatomy together with mindset coaching, to provide people with the support, that allows them to work through their own experiences with ease and understanding.
I help teach people what they need to know to enable them to take an active part in their healing process. I help you understand your patterns, so they can be dismantled and released, without focussing on the past.
I feel that teaching you these tools, goes a long way towards you taking charge of yourself with integrity and honesty, which in turn empowers you to be more present in your own life. My other website, The Institute Of Enlightened Awareness, is a beautiful and nurturing space for those wanting to learn about subtle anatomy, energy healing, reiki, chakras and a lot more...

Find out more about Ana:
I have always been curious about what it means to lead a good life and know that mindfulness is vital to staying grounded and authentic to one's heart.
Unfortunately, I found it very hard to be consistent. The busier I got and the more I needed it, the less mindful I became.
Whilst I love going to a retreat and immersing myself in inner work, I needed something that would help my day-to-day and allow me to reflect on what is important without retreating from the world. And so, Your Mindful Year was born out of my selfish need.
