  • 5/5 from Freya Naher, attended Jul 2024: I highly recommend Irina and her courses! Irina is a fantastic artist and a skilled teacher with a love of her craft who explains each element of the artmaking process in a clear and effortless way. She has been an absolute pleasure to learn from in both her clay sculpture course and mould-making / casting course, and I look forward to taking more classes with her in the future! 5/5 stars!!
  • 5/5 from Caitlin Royce, attended Sep 2023: Irina was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. Her studio had everything I needed, including the best materials for sculpting and Irina was very generous with letting me experiment. I was so happy to learn the basics of mold making and finished up with a mold that I can use again and again. I can’t wait to go back and learn more!

Hi, I'm Irina.
I like to introduce myself as a sculptor, although I'm engaged in different art disciplines too. I have never had another profession, nor have I wanted one. I fell in love with three-dimensional art at a very early age which came to me naturally, as I was born in a family of artists. It was the world I've grown up in, a measure of value around me.
I have graduated from Fine Arts, majoring in Sculpture, and with a bit of luck, I had a chance to work internationally and gain great experience in different industries and media. Cooperating with professionals from other creative fields has perfectioned my skills and broadened the views of my artistic expression.
I have tried to gather all the projects I am engaged in on this website, showcase it, sell and teach my art. Always open for the new projects with fellow creatives, just get in touch.
