Renata
Podlog: Pottery is a lifelong
passion for Renata. Having spent more than
three decades teaching, exploring and
experimenting, Renata has developed an
ever-expanding repertoire of styles and
designs. Each unique and personalized
creation has key elements that she has
become known for, like her signature
twisted handles and extremely detailed
decorative features. Renata has also
worked for more than 30 years doing
restoration work from excavation sites in
the Middle East, piecing together ancient
pottery artifacts dating back 2,000 to
8,000 years.
Meish Podlog: As a long-time
worker of wood, Meish shifted from
cabinetry to lathe work - - working in
both vertical and horizontal
dimensions. Primarily using domestic
woods gathered from backyards and the bush
in southern Ontario Meish tries to
maximize the visual impact of the grain,
colour and structure unique to each piece
of wood – much like a sculptor searching
for the hidden form in each stone.
For more than 3 decades, Meish also served
as lead negotiator for both Indigenous
peoples and the Government of Ontario in
seeking the resolution of land claims.
