“Andrew and his team at Oki Doki Studio have created a space that is exciting, welcoming, generous, and kind. Students are guaranteed to walk away with new skills and perspectives because the style of learning encouraged is inquisitive and investigative.  Students are given the freedom and space to learn in a supportive environment that embraces both safety, joy, and play. Rare are the spaces where play and learning can feel so free and easy because the perfect combination of boundaries, respect, freedom, and fun are designed into the curriculum.  Creating and holding a safe space for learning and creativity is no small task. Andrew and his team have done an amazing job. I can't recommend this place enough and I can't wait to come back.” - Cor.  

“"The Oki Doki Studio is both a fantastic place to learn as a ceramic artist and a wonderful environment for creating interesting pieces.  The diverse program of workshops, conducted by both Oki Doki staff and a great roster of guest artists, is fairly unique in itself.  One thing about Oki Doki that stood out to me from the beginning is the ability to get fully involved in the firing process, which is critical in the learning process, yet with paramount concern for safety too.  From the workshops I always come away having learned new technical skills and new creative perspectives.  But what has made Oki Doki even more special for me is the ability to undertake private firings with the guidance of Andrew and Hunter, who both have an incredibly deep knowledge of atmospheric firing.  Over a series of several private firings, I have been able to explore new glazing approaches in soda firing, something that simply isn't possible in a group workshop setting.  While I had some background in atmospheric firing before I found Oki Doki, my experiences with both the workshops and especially the private firings have truly helped accelerate my development as a ceramic artist.  I highly recommend Oki Doki to anyone interested in ceramics, whether a beginner or a more advanced practitioner." - Jeff A
