A series of hand-crafted, whimsical, artistic jewelry boxes will be the theme of the upcoming Port Washington Library’s newest art exhibit, titled “The Art of the Box” beginning Oct. 2 through 31.
The display will feature 43 designs, including: a woman’s corset; a wave with a surfer; a charred box; a large zipper; a box of crayons; an artist’s palette and more. Ray Seth Ehrlich was first hired in the Port Washington School District in 1974, where he worked as a “shop” teacher at Sousa for years before migrating to Weber Jr. High where he was tasked by the district with developing a full-blown technology program for the schools. A monumental effort, Ehrlich applied his skills to bring the schools into the 21st century and the course once named “shop” turned into “tech” on thousands of students’ daily class schedules.
