Nataliya is a ceramic artist based in Venice Beach, CA where she makes her art & teaches pottery, Kintsugi & resin art 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.

Since leaving corporate world in early 2024, Nataliya was able to fully focus on HMVB having hosted over 2000 people at her workshops since, featuring various themes and inspiring her community to create thousands of ceramic art pieces.
