Plan your visit to the North Oakland Studio
Many people make a trip to Oakland to visit the studio – Waveform visitors come from Pleasant Hill, Vallejo, Hayward, San Jose, Castro Valley, Walnut Creek and even Sacramento! Often times old friends who live far apart will use it as an excuse to meet up, or people will plan an East Bay weekend and include a Claydate as the itinerary. Whether you are local and looking to explore the neighborhood around the studio, or you are visiting Oakland from somewhere else in the Bay, I thought I’d share some recommendations for planning a date, outing or weekend getaway that will go great with your studio visit.
