It's that time of year again, although it's hard to believe....but you better.  The tree at Rock Center is going up as we speak and the first day of Chanukah is barely three weeks away.  So, it's time for that wonderful sale of handsome, handmade gifts at the Upper West Side Jewish Community Center.  It runs for two days, Tuesday and Wednesday, November 13th and 14th, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.   The Center's very talented studio art/craft teachers sell their goods, so count on everything from exquisitely crafted, beaded, blown-glass, gold, and silver jewelry; textiles/scarves/wovens; and ceramic sculptures and utilitarian objets, among the many fine craft items these pros produce.  


The JCC is at 334 Amsterdam Avenue, at 76 Street, and the Jewelry, Ceramics, and Wearable Art Holiday Sale takes place in the lobby in the Samuel Priest Rose building.  Check out more info at www.jccartstudios.org.  (If you're intrigued, you can even register for classes from these gifted instructors!)  Cash, checks, and plastic accepted.
