In 2019, Julie discovered clay and the possibility of using this medium to draw in space. She studied on the City Lit Ceramics Diploma Course, graduating in 2023 , and has since exhibited in London and Spain. 

Setting up her studio in North London earlier this year, her practice encompasses sculpture and drawing, onto and into clay. 

Pieces are often collaged ceramics with additions of metal, glass and glazes, multiple firings, and include found and foraged materials. Methods include slip casting, hand building and thrown elements. Glazes are hand made and specific to each piece. Julie uses porcelain, stoneware and earthenware to explore texture, weight and density.

Julie Zeldin is an artist living and working in London. Julie’s work often references poems and novels as an underlying influence. An avid reader, stories are always present in her work, but sometimes are obscured. Her pieces evolve from drawing, and experiments with clay. 

The results are enigmatic, sculptural, and have a quiet intensity of experience which results in pieces which benefit from the long gaze of the viewer. Her work sits meditatively waiting for interaction, and the offer of a haptic experience.
