Creativity. Photography. Wonder. Poetry.
Community. Living as artists. Talking trees. Singing frogs. Dragons.
Just outside the west edge of Langley on Whidbey Island, between the wise woods, always-changing sea, and some chatty neighbor donkeys, Silly Dog Studios is a working photography studio, a working writer’s studio, a place where we and our friends host small workshops (up to 10 people), and our home.

Dude, People Love Us
Dear Lori, thank you for the wonderful coworking day on Whidbey! We had an incredible time! Thank you for opening up your home and kitchen for us to play, create, enjoy, cook, and relax. It was so lovely.
Thanks again. We had such a great time, as usual. I’m so happy we were able to spend some one on one time together. I always deeply enjoy the time I get to spend with you. I find you both to be wonderful role models.
Many, many thanks for your wonderful presentation last Sunday. You have a wonderfully relaxed and effective presentation style. Your talk fit in beautifully with the topics included in the seminar readings and the video of ‘Leadership and the new science.’ The quality and clarity of your talk was reflected in the students’ enthusiastic evaluations of your talk. Again, many thanks and Bravo!!
In 2013, after speaking about some experience from booting up our local Fab Lab, an audience member interested is starting such a space asked “Very briefly can you tell me the three most important things needed to set up a local fab lab/makerspace/hackerspace?” My unhesitating answer was, “community, community, community”. Kane and all her friends are walking this “community, community, community” walk in a fearless way I’ve never personally even approached. You go, guys!
I just wanted to let you know how important it was for me to hear the interview with Lori Kane, and say thank you. I have felt immobilized since the election and could not understand it. I have experienced the range of emotions as described by Lori and just could not make the connection between all that and my creativity and ability to get out and shoot or even process photos. And have not had one single person in my life able to help me understand it and make some connection. Hearing this episode was life changing. Had no idea others have felt the same! So healing! Thanks much.

Daniel and Lori teach most Silly Dog Studios courses. We also have a featured guest instructor each year. In 2018, North Carolina poet Mary Ellen Lough is our featured guest. Our friends also teach their own classes out of the space–everything from writing to essential oils to computer programming.
