Judith Salomon is known for making plates, bowls, and other functional work covered with brightly colored geometric shapes floating on fields of white.

As her career grew Solomon began to hand build sculptures frequently incorporating rectangular sheets of clay in abstract architectural forms. Salomon became a master at mixing matte and high-gloss glazes on the same piece. Many of her sculptures are functional, however, Solomon is clearly interested in form first with function taking second place.
