Laguna Art Museum is exhibiting, “Rebels in Clay: Peter Voulkos

freedom of expression. “Feat of Clay: Five Decades of Jerry Rothman”
opens. In the 60s Laguna Beach ceramic sculptor Rothman became
well-known nationally for struggling to enlarge the scope of and to
overcome the limitations of ceramics that made it unsuitable for the
sculptural ambitions of the time. The exhibit includes his

birth. And “Greetings from Laguna Beach: Our Town in the Early 1900s
