Kaplan’s works were displayed at The Clay Center of New Orleans and Touchstone Center for Crafts, in Farmington. Both exhibitions ran through July.
“Pearl,” a stoneware mask, was chosen for Clay Center’s “Less Is More” exhibition, celebrating low-fired clay and surfacing techniques. The display showcased ceramic vessels, sculptures and wall-mounted works. Fifteen artists were featured.
