The Procession Art Studio(s) are NOW OPEN! Come play with us! The big studio will be open roughly 3pm to 9pm weekdays and noon to 10pm on weekends. See the official procession website at www.procession.org for the workshop schedule as it emerges.

HELP IS NEEDED! What we need most is people to staff the art studio so we can be open lots of hours so people can work on their projects! Our communication ability is even more screwed up than is traditional (hello, this is our big organizational weakness) this year because we have no office, so if you have any questions I'm happy to answer'em. If I don't know the answer after 12 years hanging around the procession, I bet I'll know who to ask.

We're in three, count'em, three spaces this year. Big stuff and batiks will be in the same place as last year: the Capitol Press Building. That's the alley side of the orange building at the corner of Capitol and State, downtown (a/k/a in the alley behind the Spar).

The office, luminaria shop, other workshops that require peace & thoughtfulness (not like my workshops!), etc., will be held at the little Cafe Royal studio. That's at 311 N. Capitol Way, in the alley behind the Royal Bar.

The music studio is upstairs at 525 Cherry Street, a/k/a the corner of Legion and Cherry. That's the upstairs of the actual Fish Brewing Co. brewery (not the brewpub). Enter via the red door on the Cherry Street side.

I'm not really the house writer. I do a lot of papier-mache and take pictures. Here are some of the pictures from Saturday, as we set up and held our open house.
