The kiln lends its voice to yours, a trusted collaborator for each firing. A constant companion along your journey.

The Oki Doki Studio provides an intimate workshop experience focused on building a strong foundation in atmospheric firing methods. We seek to create an environment of cooperative learning where everyone can communicate, share, and discover new possibilities in clay and fire together.

Book a private Soda Firing.

Would you, and up to five other artists, like to book a private firing workshop with one of our instructors? This firing allows up to 6 partisticpzants 2-2.5 cubic feet each of bisque fired work to be glazed and fired during the 3 day workshop. The studio takes a break from December - January for workshop firings, but we are starting to schedule for the later winter/ early spring of 2025.

  • The Oki Doki Studio is a commuter based workshop program. We do not currently offer accommodations for workshop participants. There are many Airbnb options in the Germantown area, and a plethora of delicious local restaurants to choose from.
