Nataliya is a ceramic artist based in Venice Beach, CA where she makes her art & teaches ceramics workshops at small businesses around the neighborhood.

Her ceramics journey started with taking a wheel throwing class on weeknights after spending her days at a strategy job in big tech. What began as a hobby has grown into Handmade in Venice Beach, a brand behind Nataliya's art & community.

In addition to her own creative journey, Nataliya loves inspiring creativity in others in her beginner-friendly ceramics workshops. She teaches her workshops at small businesses around Venice to help foster community & connection through art.

Much of Nataliya's art is about making every day objects like mugs & bowls into art pieces. She finds inspiration in her neighborhood’s beautiful beaches & free artistic spirit.
