DOWN TO EARTH POTTERY

     Working with clay has always been about having fun for Marjo Von Tooren, who has shared her expertise as a teacher -and studio space- with both children and adults on the island over decades. On the May long-weekend Von Tooren promises to have a plethora of beads available at Down to Earth Pottery alongside some of her new “Denman Island” mugs (complete with the words stamped on the side), in addition to other functional and decorative wares like footed colanders and lots of hand built bowls. 
     At the end of August watch for a retrospective of Van Tooren's creations at our local Art Gallery. This artist is also a member of the Denman Craft Shop - another one of the venues on the 2016 Pottery Tour.
