During 2013 Caryl will be taking a sabbatical from teaching studio workshops while she creates new work for a solo exhibition celebrating 30 years of making art quilts. The only currently scheduled workshops in 2013 are two five-day sessions at Empty Spools Seminars at Asilomar in February and March, 2013. Caryl will be happy to host groups wanting to organize retreats at the Bryerpatch Studio during 2013. Click here for retreat information.

In the meantime, Caryl offers many of her workshop presentations on CD. These are available through our Internet Store.

Facilities:
Bryerpatch Studio:
After twenty-five years of teaching in eleven countries on five continents, Caryl built her dream studio/home/workshop center in Paducah, KY (Quilt City USA) where you will find a state of the art classroom facility with comfortable accomodations, and lots of positive energy. The Bryerpatch Studio is a smoke-free and perfume-free facility. Please be considerate of classmates who may be sensitive and leave perfumes or other scented toiletries at home. We are wheel-chair accessible. You can park within a few feet of our doors to unload and roll your machines and supplies into the classroom. Our 900 square foot classroom has full spectrum lighting and is wired to handle irons and sewing machines. Each student will have a 2 x 4 foot table and easy access to large cutting mats and ironing boards in the classroom.

Extra space for cutting and drawing is also available in our dye studio/classroom annex. Irons and cutting mats will be provided, so you don't need to bring your own.

.
Sewing machines:
A limited number of Bernina sewing machines will be available on a first come first served basis for participants who cannot fly with their own machines. Rental fee is $10.00 per day. If more machines are needed, we can put you in touch with a local machine dealer for machine rental. If you drive, we recommend that you bring your own machine. If you need to rent a machine, please let us know ahead of time so we can reserve one for you.
.
Food:
Breakfast: Etcetera Coffee House (2½ blocks away) is open at 8am every day for muffins, cereal and yogurt, bagels, and sometimes quiche. Kirchoff's Bakery is open Monday - Saturday with quiche and other goodies. The usual mall-hugging franchise restaurants are ten minutes or less by car. If you need to bring your own food, you are welcome to use our kitchen.

Lunch: A catered lunch will be provided each day a few feet from the classroom in Caryl's kitchen. Lunches will include a green salad, homemade cookies and sandwiches of your choice from local caterers.
Dinner: We have many good (non-franchise) restaurants within walking distance in downtown Paducah. We also have every franchise restaurant on the planet five miles away near Hancocks of Paducah and I-24 exit #4. For our personal recommendations, click here.
