of directions and maps (size: 1.5M).
Directions to the studio:
From Interstate 91 North, take Exit 17B.
From 91 South, take Exit 17, onto 141 West.
Come over the shoulder of Mt. Tom and down into Easthampton. Remain on
Route 141 until the 7-11, take the first right (Liberty Street) just past
the store.
If you are coming from Northampton (Route 10) you’ll get to this
point by turning left onto Union Street (Route 141), then left just before
the 7-11.
Once on Liberty Street stay to the right at the fork and turn right at
the bottom of the hill (look for a Riverside Industries or One Cottage
Street sign). Park in the large lot at the rear of One Cottage Street.
To locate the Garage Annex School for Book Arts and the Wide Awake Garage
scan the roof-line of the building. Look for a reddish-brown elevator
shaft to the right of the smokestack. Go through the loading dock door
at the base of that elevator shaft. You’ll find the passenger elevator
down the hallway to the left.
Take the elevator or stairs to the top (fifth) floor. The workshop is
in room 503, the second door on the right, down the hall from the passenger
elevator.
Area Lodgings
The following list gives you some options to check out
for lodging. We don’t have personal experience with many of these
places, so please give us feedback about them.
Stay close to Easthampton, our workshop location. The farther north you
go, the more scenic, the farther south, the more urban. Public transportation
to and from the workshop is available, but severely limited. When making
reservations ask how long it will take to get to Easthampton Center.
Northampton, a quick five mile drive to the north, is a fun, active small
city—lots of great food and things to do at night.
Lodging tax here is 9.7%.
