Class Locations and Directions

Pick a town, any town...

Florence Location

Florence classes, clinics and most special events meet at The Wildlife Sanctuary, which is room 349 in the Arts and Industry Building (shown left), 221 Pine St. in Florence, (zip code 01062). In case you are wondering, we are the wildlife. Directions are below...

From Highway 91 going North:

• Exit in Northampton at exit 19 (Rt. 9). Turn left onto Rt. 9 - west towards Northampton. Drive through the center of Northampton and stay on Rt. 9 west approximately 3 miles to Florence Center.
• Turn left on North Maple St.
• Turn right on Pine St. You'll soon come to a couple large white industrial buildings on your right. The second of them (farther down the hill) is 221 Pine St, The Arts and Industry Building.
• You can park in front of the building if there are free spaces, or in the parking lot out back. Or...enter the overflow parking lot on Spring Street (at the bottom of the hill) and park near the building. Take the path across the bridge to the building entrance.
• The quickest way up is to enter the door marked East Entrance and take the stairs up to the 3rd floor. Turn left at the landing and you're there, studio 349. It's well marked.

From Highway 91 going South:

• Exit in Northampton at exit 20 (North King St.) go straight on King Street to the center of Northampton. Turn right on Main Street (Rt. 9) and proceed west on Rt. 9 approximately 3 miles to Florence Center. Follow the directions above, starting at the 2nd bullet, ("Turn left on North Maple, etc...")

Amherst Location

Amherst classes are held in the downstairs gallery at the lovely Nacul Center at 592 Main St in Amherst, which is also the main office for TIA Architects. There is a small sign visible from Main St, so keep your eyes peeled for that. The building was once the Wesley Chapel and it looks very much like the church it used to be. If you need directions, Yahoo maps is more accurate than Google for some reason. The zip code is 01002.
