Welcome to LJ Studio

LJ Studio is the dreamy, sunny, South Austin backyard studio where I illustrate and work with clay, teach hands-on workshops and private lessons, and host community events like seed swaps and open studio days.

We celebrated our grand opening in 2024, and since then I’ve had a ton of fun teaching and sharing the magic of playing with clay. I like a mindful approach with an emphasis on the process of making and diving into the sensory experience—the final product is a bonus!
