Spring Crafts Sale Offering One-Of-A-Kind Creations
In A Variety Of Media Will Be Held June 2-3 At UCSD

By Jan Jennings

The annual Spring Crafts Sale featuring ceramics, blown glass, jewelry, and other craft items will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 2 and 3 in the Crafts Center at the University of California, San Diego. A preview show/sale will be held June 1 from 3 to 7 p.m. All exhibited work will be for sale.

The one-of-a-kind items are created by UCSD faculty members, students, and independent artists. The glass and ceramic work includes both functional ware, such as bottles, vases, plates, and bowls, and more non-traditional, sculptural forms. The jewelry items are cast and constructed from a variety of precious metals and adorned with beads and semi-precious stones.

More than 40 crafts persons will be represented.

The Crafts Center at UCSD offers a wide range of classes – taught by some of San Diego’s top artists/crafts persons – in everything from glass, clay and jewelry to weaving, photography, graphics, and metal work.

The Crafts Center is located on UCSD’s Revelle College campus off Eucalyptus Grove Lane. Directions and parking information are available at the Gilman Drive information center at the entrance to the campus.

For more information about the sale or the Crafts Center, call (858) 534-2021, or visit the website at http://www-crafts.ucsd.edu .
