The final episode of this series, made for and by Kiwis with disabilities, revisits earlier profiles from the 2004 season. First up, actor/designer Grant Tilly meets furniture restorer Leon Nodelman in his Island Bay home, decorated in intricate carvings inspired by Nodelman's Azerbaijan and Soviet heritage. Nodelman gives Tilly a tour of his workshop and home, both adapted to meet his needs as a wheelchair user. The second subject is ceramic artist Mirek Smíšek, a WWll Czech immigrant who became one of Aotearoa's first professional potters. He discusses managing his asthma and epilepsy while enjoying his work.
You must never let things like that defeat you. You must face it, recognise it and live with it.– Potter Mirek Smíšek on living with asthma and epilepsy
