Loren Kaplan is a ceramic artist living and working in Toronto, who has worked in clay from the early 90’s. Originally from South Africa, her interest is in vessel-making. Loren’s work includes unique pieces that are created by coiling and hand-building, sometimes combining wheel-thrown and hand-building techniques in porcelain.The surface of these vessels is often carved, sculpted or engraved with intricate patterns and symbols that combine the geometric and organic. 

Organic in process and form, the range and diversity of her work is compelling and integrated throughout with symbols and patterns. Kaplan holds a BA in Fine Arts, photography, studied ceramics at the Kim Sacks School of Ceramics in Johannesburg and has received numerous awards for her ceramic art. Her work is featured in the South African Constitutional Court Art Collection. Awards include Honorable Mention at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition in 2016.
