So… Why “Ktchn28”?
Because our first studio was in Marina’s kitchen.
Because the kitchen is where things rise, bubble, and begin.
Because 28 is her quiet compass—a number that’s followed her like a whispered reminder: you’re on the right path.
Ktchn28 is a creative hearth. A place to grow. A place to return to.
Come stir something up with us.
Meet the Founder
Marina Shterenberg: Artist. Educator. Visionary with
Paint-Stained Fingers.
With over 25 years of experience, Marina holds an MFA from San Francisco State University and has taught everywhere from the SF Art Institute to Brookhaven College. She’s a recipient of major arts fellowships and grants, but her proudest achievements? Her students—and probably Sparky.
Our Mission
We don’t do cookie-cutter art. We offer real techniques, taught one-on-one, so every student can express what makes them unique. Curiosity, creativity, and individuality aren’t just welcome here—they’re the whole point.
This is the space to introduce visitors to the business or brand. Briefly explain who's behind it, what it does and what makes it unique. Share its core values and what this site has to offer.
Welcome to Ktchn28
For over 15 years, Ktchn28 has been a cozy, quirky, and wildly creative hub for visual art education. Formerly known as Cosmic Container, we’ve helped children, teens, and adults find their voice through paint, pencil, clay—and the occasional glitter explosion.
We believe art isn’t just a skill. It’s a language, a journey, and sometimes, a glorious mess.
Our Team
This is the space to introduce the team and what makes it special. Describe the team culture and work philosophy. To help site visitors connect with the team, add details about team members’ experience and skills.
Milana
Art Instructor
Milana brings warmth, humor, and a touch of delightful chaos to every class. Known for her insightful figure drawing guidance and uncanny ability to spark conversation, she’ll inspire you to loosen up.
Andi
Art Instructor
Andi is obsessed with 3D animation and character design — in the best way. She’s always working on something cool (and slightly unhinged), and her classes are the perfect mix of chaotic creativity and actual learning.
Manet
Ceramics Instructor
Manet, our ceramics expert, brings deep skill and calm focus to all things clay. Whether wheel throwing or hand-building, her mastery of sculptural techniques makes every session hands-on and transformative.
Veronika
Art Instructor
Veronika is the kind of teacher who’ll help you find your artistic voice and show you five different ways to use a pencil you didn’t know existed. A Dreyfoos alum who spent a summer at SVA in NYC, she’s all about exploring different mediums and cheering you on.
