SPRING CRAFTS SALE AT UCSD JUNE 3, 4 AND 5 OFFERS ONE-OF-A-KIND ITEMS

The annual Spring Crafts Sale, featuring ceramics, blown glass, jewelry, and other craft items, will be held June 3, 4, and 5 in the Crafts Center at the University of California, San Diego.

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

More than 40 artisans will be represented. All work will be for sale.

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 Spring Crafts Sale of ceramics, blown glass, and jewelry will be held at the Crafts Center from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 3, 4, and 5. A preview sale will be held June 2 from 3 to 7 p.m. The 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 www-crafts.ucsd.edu.
