from east sacramento

the most direct shot. take h street east — it turns into fair oaks boulevard as you cross watt avenue, and from there it's a straight tree-lined run northeast through sierra oaks. fair oaks blvd meets manzanita avenue in the heart of carmichael; turn left, head north for half a mile, then right on marconi avenue, and a quick left onto walnut. the studio is a quarter mile up on your right.

scenic, low-stress, and the route most regulars take.

from midtown

cleanest path is the business 80 / capital city freeway north to the arden way exit. head east on arden, which carries you most of the way there. at eastern avenue, take a left, then a right on marconi. continue east about a mile and a half, then left on walnut. studio is on your left.

faster than surface streets if you're catching a peak-hour class. if you'd rather avoid the freeway entirely, j street → fair oaks blvd mirrors the east sac route and adds maybe four minutes.

from land park

cross the river and take business 80 north to the marconi avenue exit. head east on marconi for about three and a half miles — you'll cross fulton, eastern, and engle as the strip retail thins out into carmichael's residential blocks. left on walnut, just past manzanita. studio on your left.

if traffic on biz-80 looks rough, freeport blvd → 21st street → j street → fair oaks blvd gets you there on surface streets in about the same time, with better scenery once you cross into east sac.

from oak park

quickest is highway 50 east → business 80 north. exit at marconi avenue and follow it east about three and a half miles. left on walnut just past manzanita. studio on your left.

surface-street alternative: broadway → 65th street → folsom blvd → watt avenue north → marconi east. about four minutes longer but avoids the freeway interchange entirely.
