I am a ceramic and glass artist who originally hails from Russia but over 5 years ago moved to Australia and now based in Tweed Heads, North NSW. I graduated from art school in my youth, but applied myself to the field of economics before returning to my roots with a course in Interior Decoration in the International Design School in Moscow in 2014 after 10 years of auditing.

To quit my job was a big desicion but now I can say - the best in my life. My family used to say that hobby can't be your full time job, but I disagreed.

I specialise in glass and ceramic painting, having started the former in 2013 in Moscow. I learned glass and ceramic painting by myself, step by step, year by year. And still learning: learning new techniques, new materials, new surfaces...

Constantly developing my work, I am currently in a period of transition and evolving from my previous style. I found contemporary art interesting to me and decided to use my mediums to create some pieces of art in another way.

If you are the one who loves stained glass painting, painted ceramic tiles or plates, fluid art...if you want to learn how to do it yoursellf, you are more than welcome to my workshops! I will tell you everything that I know.

Great patient teacher
Carefully packaged. When I find the perfect design I will have a beautiful glass picture to hang next to my window.
Thank you so much

Beautifully presented glass painting kit. It has everything I will need to complete my first project. I bought it for my husband to give to me for a Christmas gift so I haven’t used it yet but had a good look and can’t wait to use it!

Michelle Mendes • Dec 2021

I found it difficult with my Parkinson’s disease but I’m going to practice by myself at home and make some great pieces.

It would be great if I had the stencils but that was not your fault .

Lovely class, Natalia was very informative about techniques and paint mediums used. Her demonstration and guidance was very clear. The class was so much fun, I enjoyed trying to put what I learnt into practice. Overall it was a pleasurable experience in creating my glass painting piece, with unique paints, and loving what I am creating.

This class was great.

Nat talked us through everything and then it was time to create. She gave feedback to everyone and supported us through the whole class.

I want to do more.

An interesting class for my daughter to attend virtually. The teacher was very helpful and made sure that the kit arrived in time. An unusual and inspiring form of artwork and a nice teacher to spend time with for her.

Nanette Stephen • Jun 2021

Such a talented Artist. We were absolute beginners and needed a thorough induction into ceramic tile decoration. From basic materials to mixing and applying paints we gained knowledge and some technical expertise. We have been inspired to improve our skills by completing today’s task in full. Will include photos of today’s work.

This was a really fun class. Natalia is a great teacher and clearly very experienced in glass painting. The paints in the craft box are beautiful and obviously high quality. I loved learning the techniques and am inspired to keep doing more stained glass painting.

I loved my ceramic painting session! Natalia was really knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She gave me 1-1 attention and built up my skill gradually until she felt I could work independently. The kit was fabulous- it had all I needed and more! Natalia has thought of everything! I thoroughly recommend this class. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I purchased this lesson as a gift for my mum and she enjoyed the experience. There were no issues with the delivery of the materials before the class, and it was easy to set things up for the online lesson. The teacher was patient, approachable and experienced. She took the time to answer lots of questions and to demonstrate the steps clearly. It was a good introduction to ceramic tile art and my mum had fun - thanks Natalia!

Super easy to follow and a lovely class! All materials provided.

Class was 5 hours but we did not finish in time (we picked something complex), so teacher sent us a lot of info about how to complete at home.

Shizuko Saito • Dec 2019

The class was fantastic. The teacher is very kind and patient, gave us time to complete all work even we took longer than the scheduled time. Class size was very small so I could get support whenever I needed. I definitely recommend to my friends.

A great, relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Natalia was both knowledgeable and kind, demonstrating a variety of painting techniques and explaining the different materials before letting me loose to create my own piece. Natalia did a great job balancing encouragement and suggestions with my own creative ideas. I absolutely love the piece I created and I'm excited to work more in this medium now that I've had a chance to try it out.
