check out this
map of Granville Island to find the exact spot, or use this very cool flash map of Granville Island to find that we will be at the teeter-totters (see-saws, or whatever you wish to call them), in the little park across the way from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, just next to the OPUS art supplies & framing store, across the street from Arts Umbrella, so if your looking North towards
The Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design from CARTWRIGHT Street, towards JOHNSTON Street, while in fron tof Arts Umbrella, you will see to the right BLACK STONE PRESS, a letterpress printers shop, (that I've used in the past for some pooka press projects) & to the left MICON STEEL. You can't miss it. Just get to OPUS & you'll see the swings & teeter-totter at the back doors.

So, hope to see you at Granville Island this Sunday
