We entered this shop and asked the older lady with the dark curly hair if the carved paddles were locally made (as the other shops we were in had paddles that were made in Indonesia), and she very rudely barked “EXCUSE ME”!! My husband and I explained (as I previously said above) and she continued to be rude and condescending. We are art collectors and wanted to support LOCAL artists and didn’t need to be spoken to like this. Another woman who witnessed this exchange, came up to us and said, thank you to us for asking that very question, as she had the very same question. Store owner(s) should assist staff on how to professionally speak to potential clients, it was for this reason we purposely didn’t purchase from this shop.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Owner Ken Decker and purchased a piece while there. Ken educated me on many aspects of his art and the art of the native people in the region. This is the store to find museum quality handmade one of a kind pieces.

Great store, but the featured artist Ken has such a nasty attitude and kept making side comments for me to go away as I was asking questions and chatting like everybody else coming by, I was asking about the formline and shapes and Tsm’syen language and he kept making comments to other passerby’s about how he “can’t get much work done because of certain visitors.” I’m sorry but why are you painting a drum in a popular tourist shop (I’m a local not a tourist) and expecting to get lots of work done and nobody to talk to you? Plus everybody else was chatting and chatting too but I’m not welcome I guess. He left such a bad feeling in me that I don’t even want to come visit the store anymore. Lots of cool stuff but I’m not supporting that artist.

This studio has many great options to buy indigenous art. If you get a chance, talk to Ken. He is a fascinating person with great stories.

My family has been been doing business here for several generations. It is a tradition to buy our wives a halibut bracelet.We did a whole lot of shopping here, during our 1 month of vacation, and are really happy with the quality of what we bought.Will certainly go back and highly recommend this business to people who have not been there. The service and their offerings are excellent!!!

Beautiful work, talented and kind artist. Ken took his time while painting to share stories about his life & his journey to becoming an artist. He is gentle, kind and full of wisdom. I enjoyed meeting him and visiting his gallery.

When we visit Ketchikan we always stop at Crazy Wolf Studio. It's a wonderful place to find special gifts for yourself and others. Monica and Ken along with other staff are so helpful and pleasant. You may even be lucky enough to see Ken at work on native art. We highly recommend the Crazy Wolf Studio. Our last visit was August 11, 2021. Judi & Vic
