freedom of expression. “Feat of Clay: Five Decades of Jerry Rothman”

opens. In the 60s Laguna Beach ceramic sculptor Rothman became

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
