| A Day With Set Decorators
By Eric Althoff
In SDSA’s Educational Outreach series Day with Set Decorators,
prospective set decorators once again mixed it up with seasoned
professionals. Warner Brothers Studios generously opened their
prophouse and drapery department, as well as the soundstages and sets
for some of television’s most popular shows: ER, FRIENDS, and the crime
drama WITHOUT A TRACE. Numerous DWSD volunteers, from committee
members planning the event to mentors guiding the groups, shared
aspects of set decorating with those literally following in their
footsteps. Special credit goes to Tracy Balsz and her colleagues at
Warner Brothers Marketing, for making this special day possible.
