More than 100 pieces in calligraphy, ceramic, enamel, fabric, glass, metal, paper and wood are included in the exhibi- tion. Colorful wall tapestrics, ceramic havdalah plates, menorahs, jewelry, woven prayer shawls, spice boxes, mezuzahs, sabbath candle holders and torah pointers are among the crafts pieces on display. Prices range from $35 to $10,000. “The current renaissance in Judaic crafts attests to the growing interest in reinter- preting and adapting tradi- tional objects and themes to speak more directly to contem- porary audiences,” Beverly Haas, exhibition coordinator, noted. ‘‘Today’s crafts are tom- morrow’s artifacts — a tangible legacy for future generations.” CONTEMPORARY AR- TIFACTS runs through Jan. 31, 1983 and is open to the public during regular Museum hours: Sunday, 10 am. — 4 p.m.; Mondays through Thursdays, 10 am. — 5 p.m. During the months of November and December, the Museum will also be open on Fridays, 11 am. — 3 p.m. for the convenience of holiday shoppers.

CHADDS FORD, PA. — Children of all ages can ap- preciate the traditional holiday exhibition at the Brandywine River Museum. The spirit of Christmas is alive and well once again at the Museum known for its paint- ings by the Wyeth family and scores of other American ar- tists and illustrators. A highlight of this year’s show will be five displays devoted to the St. Nicholas and the elves theme. These sculpted figrures were created by E.J. Taylor from clay, antique laces, fabric and other materials. They were originally done for Tiffany’s windows in New York. Taylor, who now lives in Lon- don, began making puppets when he was seven. He now en- joys an international reputation for his work with the elfin-like sculptures. Another special treat this year will be an exhibit of Palmer Cox's Brownies. Small as mice, cunning as foxes, his Brownies are a jovial band of free spirits who emerge in the evenings from their woodland haunts to enjoy the run of the countryside while mortals sleep. Cox (1840-1924) received his inspiration for the Brownies from the folk tales of the Scot- tish emigrants he listened to as a boy in Granby, Canada. He adapted the legends to the evironment of the 19th century American youngster and created a delightful fantasy world. The display includes books and periodicals, toys, china and many other fascina- ting objects on loan from the Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum in Rochester and other lenders. Anyone who has seen the face of a child light up like a Christmas tree on Christmas morning knows the magical feeling Ann Wyeth McCoy tries to capture in her display of rare antique dolls. Her private col- lection, often called one of the finest of its kind, has become a family tradition of the Museum. Her husband, artist John Mec- Coy, provides the backdrop and special wintry effects. The holiday show also in- cludes a gallery filled with 0-gauge model trains running over a layout of more than 1500 feet of track. Trains, under the watchful eye of Steve Clarke, scoot around the landscaped platform, passing through tun- nels, over bridges, around curves and bends. Clarke has been overseeing the train panorama for the past seven holiday seasons. Visitors will be greeted by five living Christmas trees adorned with natural or- naments fashioned of flora native to the Valley. Museum volunteers have been busy making “Christmas Critters’’ from Queen Anne's lace, pine cones, sycamore milkweed pods and ~ goldenrod.
