Nestled in the foothills of Snoqualmie, Washington, lj Creates is a small studio where imagination meets intention. Founded by artist and maker Lauren, the studio blends the tactile beauty of handmade pottery with the playful charm of coloring and activity books—each piece designed to spark joy, mindfulness, and connection.

Lauren’s work is rooted in curiosity and care. Whether she’s crafting kiln-fired ceramics or designing interactive pages, her creations invite people to slow down, explore, and engage with the world in meaningful ways. With a background in visual storytelling, she brings a thoughtful touch to everything she makes—from the glaze chemistry of a mug to the symbolism tucked into a coloring page.
