Creating Art
from Nature
Welcome to Studio Andreas! We’re an Art school in Stamford, Connecticut, teaching students how to create art from wood, clay, and fabric. Our three studios offer the professional equipment and instruction necessary for students of all ages to learn a traditional craft.
Classes are offered in weekly group sessions, private lessons, and occasional workshops. Our next semester of classes begins in the late fall of 2025. Students can begin enrolling on October 17. Classes begin November 3 and run until December 20.
Three Studios. One Community.
Woodworking Studio
We teach the fundamentals of woodworking and safe tool use. Beginners will carve a spoon and craft a keepsake box in their first semester, building confidence with hand tools along the way. Once they’ve learned the foundational skills students can take on more advanced and personalized projects.
Textiles Studio
The world of fabric design comes to life in our Textile Arts studio. Students are guided through the rhythmic flow of yarn spinning and the meditative art of weaving. Beginners start on a frame loom to learn the interplay of warp and weft, and later advance to larger floor looms.
Ceramics Studio
The Ceramics Studio is a place where creativity gets a little messy and form meets function at the potter’s wheel. Students learn foundational wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques as they explore the possibilities of clay. Each class moves at a thoughtful pace, emphasizing both skill-building and creative expression.

“My Tuesday class is just a part of my rituals now. It makes me happy! The community is great, Mark is awesome and very knowledgeable. I’ve been working on a table for a while and it’s finally done.”
Maybe you're curious about woodworking. Maybe you're looking for a place to create. Or maybe you just want to try something new with your hands. We’re honored to be featured in Moffly Media—read more about what we’re building.
Open Figure Drawing
Thursdays from 6PM - 9PM
We’re bringing figure drawing back! Each week a live model is available for you to sketch freely and practice drawing the human figure. Sessions are 3 hours long and open to all skill levels, 18 and over.
Craft
Community
& Ecology
At Studio Andreas, the process matters just as much as the product. Working with your hands slows you down, connects you to the material, and quiets the mind. Whether you're carving wood, shaping clay, or weaving fiber, our studio is a space where you can step away from the noise of the world.
In a fast society, making something by hand is a quiet rebellion. That’s the heart of what we do here.
