Take Hwy 80 East past Emeryville and just past Berkeley to the 580 West (follow signs for "580 Point Richmond & San Rafael"). Continue on 580 West for about 8 miles.

Take the "RICHMOND PKWY / PT. RICHMOND" EXIT (two exits before the Richmond / San Rafael Bridge - do not go over this bridge). At the end of the exit ramp at the stoplight, turn LEFT onto CASTRO ST., go a short distance under the freeway and turn LEFT onto TEWKSBURY AVE. (stoplight).

Make your SECOND RIGHT onto WASHINGTON AVE. Go one short block and VEER LEFT onto PARK PLACE. Make the next LEFT onto WEST RICHMOND.

We are the third business on your left, The Nova Studio, at 24 W. Richmond, in a cute golden yellow one-story building with cobalt blue double doors. If you reach RAILROAD AVE. or cross the railroad tracks, you've gone just a bit too far.

PARKING can easily be found right near the studio, on either side of W. Richmond Ave., or the closest cross streets: Tunnel Ave., Park Place or Railroad Ave. Most of the parking has a 2 hour limit (no parking meters, just time limits) during the week, from 8am-6pm, so for just about all classes, this time limit is not an issue.

QUESTIONS? Call the studio 510-234-5700 or Lori Nova's cell at 510-710-0914. Please be aware that if you call last minute or during class, someone may not be available to answer the phone. Please plan ahead and research/print your directions prior to the day of class.
