About the Artists

Micha Peleg: I always had the need to explore, experience and find out more. I have completed my architecture studies, and I did some sketching, stone sculpting, wood carving and blacksmithing. But there was always something missing, until I found the world of ceramics and pottery. This is where I found home. And for me, finding home in art is connecting; connecting to the infinite fountain of creation, filled with new ideas. For me, this means wanting to be in a state of constant learning. Explore limits, step outside of limits, put aside all criticism and just dance with the material.

Atalya Peleg: The experience of creation has been in me since I learned how to use my own hands. I graduated from the Israel Museum studies of teaching art, and for 10 years I have practiced physical psychotherapy through art. I have engaged myself in various areas of art over the years, such as teaching, graphic design, settings, sketching, painting, and sculpting in different materials – from textile to metal. In recent years, I have extended my knowledge of clay, and we have a living dialogue between us. I feel its vitality under my fingers, as it is being born with the delight of existence. I am happy to share this feeling with everybody.

As a couple: We work together and separately, Micha on the potter's wheel and Atalya with her free hands and with various materials. Each work we make is created with great love.
