ANNUAL WINTER HOLIDAY CRAFTS SALE OFFERING
ONE-OF-A-KIND CREATIONS TO BE HELD DEC. 2-4 AT UCSD

The annual Winter Holiday Crafts Sale featuring ceramics, blown glass, jewelry, and other craft items will be held Dec. 2-4 in the Crafts Center at the University of California, San Diego. A preview show/sale will be held Dec. 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 functional ware, such as bottles, vases, plates, and bowls, as well as 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 three-day sale will be held at the Crafts Center from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. 2, 3, and 4, preceded by the sale preview Dec. 1. 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.
