LJ Studio
Welcome to LJ Studio
LJ Studio is a creative haven located in South Austin, dedicated to fostering personal growth through creative expression and mindfulness—with an emphasis on playing with clay! Opened in 2024, our studio offers a welcoming space for artists of all levels and abilities.
Our 500 sq ft studio includes a main pottery room equipped with a Shimpo VL-Whisper pottery wheel, electric Skutt kiln, and a 30” slab roller, alongside a comfortable office area and a cozy loft lounge that’s half reading nook, half napping hideaway. The outdoor space features a wraparound deck and beautiful terraced gardens.
Private Lessons
Ready to dive deeper into your pottery practice? I offer personalized private lessons tailored to your skill level and interests. These sessions provide focused guidance and support as you explore different techniques and materials. Beginners welcome!

Firing Services
At LJ Studio, we offer free firing for everything made here. For other ceramic pieces, our rates are:
Half Shelf: $15 • Half Kiln: $40 • Full Kiln : $65
We bisque fire at cone 04 and glaze fire at cone 5. Please ensure your clay body and glazes are compatible with these temperatures.
Studio Time
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all, we require new artists to start with a private lesson ($70) to familiarize themselves with the equipment and studio rules. After the initial lesson, artists can book studio time through our upcoming online scheduling system, allowing for flexible access to create at their own pace. Our studio time is priced on a sliding scale to accommodate various budgets:
• Hourly – $10-20
• 3-hour block – $25-45
• Week – $150-300
• Month – $400-800
