The Austin Titus studio is located in the historic neighborhood of Church Hill, in Richmond VA. Her work is influenced by old world textures and details yet always with the desire to keep a contemporary edge. She finds beauty in the imperfect, tactile nature of an object that has been handmade—raw edges, hammer and file marks—these are the signature of the maker and a timeline of the process.
