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.

The usual mall-hugging franchise restaurants are ten minutes or less by car.
