Pottery Artist Marjo van Tooren Profiled

community · Denman Island

Marjo van Tooren, a well-known Denman Island potter and pottery instructor, is featured in an article discussing her artisan approach to pottery, her communal living lifestyle, and her life story including her background and influences. The Denman Museum plans to include her in its oral history program in 2018.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
