The saddest news. My sympathy to her family. And hugs to all of us who knew & loved her. A true force of nature!

It was Judy’s book that set me off into my polymer adventure. Condolences to her family and many clay friends!

I am very sorry to hear of Ms. Belcher’s death. This is sad news. My sympathies to all who knew her and especially her family and close friends.

Oh Cynthia! So sad and too young. We only met briefly but she was such a warm person!

I am shocked and saddened to hear this news. My deepest sympathy to her family and those closest to her.

What sad news, may her soul rest in peace, she will be missed.

Condolences to family and friends so sad xx

OMG another art hero has left us! ?
She will be missed, forever and always.

So, so sad. She left us way too young. Thoughts and prayers to her family at this very sad time.

So sad. She was an inspiration.

Such sad news. Judy was one of the first people I learned from. Blessed be Judy.

So sad!!! my condolences to her family. I lost a good friend and we all lost a real talented person and leader. I will always keep our memories as a treasure in my heard!!!

So very sorry to hear this news, however her legacy lives on in all the lives she touched like mine. I will never forget the words of wisdom she passed on in her business for artists class. Such a huge warm smile and great sense of humor. She will be sorely missed.

Artista di grande talento e di grande ispirazione. Le mie condoglianze alla sua famiglia.??

I’m so sorry to hear about this. My favorite polymer quote is from Judy: “Even crap is beautiful tessellated.” She wasn’t wrong. Rest in Peace, Judy.

Judy Belcher was a very kind, sweet and thoughtful person. She put a smile on my face and made me feel very welcome at an event we both attended. I have never forgotten her warm and happy personality and the kindness freely given!

Judy was an absolute force of nature and beloved by so many. She will be remembered always.

What sad news! I am very sorry to hear that Judy is no longer with us. Her talent, her good humour, her humanity are irreplaceable. One of the greatest is gone. I will drink a toast to you dear Judy. Sit tibi terra levis, Judy!

Oh, no. ? Along with Kathleen Dustin and Bettina Welker, Judy was one of my first favorite polymer artists. I feel so bad for her family and fans, but I’m trying to console myself by reminding myself how lucky we are that we got to “know” her through the ether. She’ll live on in her works and in our hearts. If her family and loved ones are reading this, please know how grateful we are that you shared her with us!

This is so so sad – her Work truly inspired me! Prayers for her family ??

So sorry to hear this news. Sending my fond regards to all of her friends and family. My best, Cornelia

My condolences to friends and family of a talented artist so many described with affection and admiration.

Condolences to her family. Another polymer artist great has left us too soon. So sad. I am thankful to have been inspired by her both in book form and in person.

This is so sad for anyone who encountered Judy. Whether a close personal friend or a mere acquaintance, she made everyone she met feel valued, and a smile or hardy laugh usually followed. The polymer clay world owes her so much for her years of leadership and generous sharing with us all. I personally owe her much as early in my polymer life she often passed my name along to other groups, artists, or galleries helping me build a crucial network. I’m so sad for her beloved children Maria and Max whom she loved deeply. Her face would light up when asked about them, or sharing a story of her family. The world has lost one of the genuinely good people in a world where there are too few. RIP dear friend.
