Mission & Values
Here at Studio Andreas, we believe that through the power of exchanging and passing down the tradition of hands-on learning in authentic art studio environments, we can create community and kinship through genuine human interaction.
Studio Andreas first started out when Mark Andreas, owner and artist, began teaching woodworking classes out of his own artist studio. He believes that the artist studio is a transformative place where imagination and craft are limitless, becoming a window into one’s practice and creativity.
At Studio Andreas, we aim to integrate our students and community into this “window,” encouraging them to work with their hands and with each other to learn the mastery of a craft.
Our Values
Diversity & Inclusion
Studio Andreas is a welcoming and diverse community; and we aim to foster an inclusive, understanding and inspiring environment. We treat people with respect and integrity. Everyone is welcomed in our classrooms, studio spaces, and in our community.
Life Long Learning
Learning is a continuous lifelong journey. At Studio Andreas, we value students of all ages and backgrounds who are committed to their artistic and creative education. We deeply appreciate our intergenerational classrooms and welcome everyone.
A.I Free Space
We believe that by passing down generations of knowledge, Studio Andreas urges our students to create art with their hands, a skill that can never be replaced by emerging technology. As A.I becomes a leading force in technology today, Studio Andreas would like to be a safe-haven, free from the uses of A.I in art making.
