About:

I came to know about modeling clay flowers from a magazine article on the DECO Clay Craft Academy. I was very excited to learn this art and without doubt, I traveled to Moscow, Russia and studied a course at the school of Olga Petrova. The personal satisfaction and  lessons from the training inspired me to become a full-fledged certified instructor and to open my own school in Odessa, Ukraine (where DECO art schools have never been established before).

For nearly eight years, I've been happily sharing my own experiences and teaching others the DECO clay art. The happiness and great emotional pleasure that comes with creating small clay flowers never stops and even as an instructor of the academy, my journey of learning continues - traveling abroad for new courses created by the lovely founders of the DECO Clay Craft Academy, Kazuko and Yukiko Miyai.

What DECO Curricula do you teach and how often?
I am certified in and teach all current DECO courses.  For more details and class schedule please contact me.

Do you create finished pieces for sale and where do you sell them?
I create finished pieces for sale as well as custom orders. I sell my artwork throughout Ukraine.
