Potter Trades Prairies for B.C. Miss Marjo van Tooren, who
has been a member of the Alberta Potters' Guild for 5 years, has
recently arrived from Edmonton. She is part-owner of the Little Tea
House at Horseshoe Bay, through which she hopes to establish a
ceramic workshop and craft shop. Originally from Holland, she brings
along some fresh ideas about ceramic jewellery - she even makes
ceramic buttons - and will start producing on a larger scale as soon as
she has acquired a kiln,

Any potters wishing to consign work to the craft shop are cordially
invited to drop in and see her. In fact, if you are in the Horseshoe
Bay area, do pay a visit to the Little Tea House. Going is a bit
rough out there, and unless you are looking for a hamburger (which
they refuse to serve!) you can enjoy a pleasant hour in quite
different surroundings.

New "Pot Shoppe'' Opens. Hamilton born Dennis Vance and his
partner Glenda McMullen, have opened The Pot Shoppe, 1420 West
Pender, Tel: 685-3180, Potters wishing to consign work should
contact Dennis, At present the shop is specializing in B.C. crafts
but future projections call for the opening of a second and larger store
which may carry work from the East and possibly the U.S.A. Dennis,
a sculptor in his own right, says that he eventually hopes to establish
a gallery in conjunction with a pot shop.

Potter Arrives from England. Mr. Ian Steele, 752 East 51st,
Tel, 327-8076, graduate from the Vancouver School of Art, has
recently returned from England after studying under Bernard Leach,
Ian plans to set up a workshop somewhere in the Vancouver area.
He is interested in the possibility of combining wood with other fuels
for kiln firing,
