Help Tatiana Go to Ceramics School & Build Her Dream Studio

Hi, I’m Tatiana. I’m a woman artist, illustrator, and creative entrepreneur with a mission to build beauty, joy, and rebellion into everything I make—from prints to ceramics to lifestyle goods.

After years of dreaming and creating, I’ve been accepted into a full-time intensive ceramics program that starts this September. It’s the next step in expanding my practice into home décor, handmade objects, and art that lives in people’s homes and daily rituals.

But to make this next chapter possible, I need help raising $15,000 CAD.

What the funds will cover:

– $5,500 tuition for the program (due August 2)

– $2,000 for car repairs (the school is in a car-dependent city)

– $1,500 in materials + tools

– $4,000 for 4 months of living cushion while in school

– $2,000 for shipping, campaign fees, and producing artwork rewards

Anything above tuition will go directly toward car costs, art materials, and giving me the freedom to study and create full-time this fall. This intensive program isn’t just about me going to school—it’s about building a creative future that reflects my values: softness as strength, joy as resistance, and art as a way to stay free.

If my work has ever made you feel seen...

If you’ve ever seen yourself in my work, or believe in the power of Black women artists to shape the world, I hope you’ll support me. Every donation—$10, $100, $1,000— moves me closer to school and building a studio that celebrates all of us.
