Vlodek Tydor was born in Germany, raised and educated in Poland. Although he graduated from Technical College of Mechanical Engineering, he opted for the pursuit of artistic interests rather than continuing in the field of his study.

His enthusiasm, talent and skill lead him to the association with the regional architectural company in Zielona Gora, Poland where his contribution extended into designing and building urban projects on miniature scale, drafting maps and drawing up blue prints for the urban development department. Soon his attention took a turn into experimentation with the artistic photography and short documental films.

For several years he had the opportunity to travel extensively across Canada, US and Europe in seeking out new and exhilarating artists' and their unique work for his gallery. During his visits to artist’s studios, especially the ones with ceramic medium, he felt compelled to "sink his hands into the mud" and test his abilities once again. After two short courses in hand building and wheel throwing he came up with a design for a line of contemporary clay animal figurines, which become his passion and a way of life overtaking everything-else.

Presently he is working full time as ceramist from his studio, shared with his wife and partner, artist herself, in Ontario.
