Halloween Hand-building with Iulia Simtion

Join us at DEPOT 3 Vic Road on Wednesday 29 October from 3:30-5:30pm for a fun hand-building workshop with ceramic artist Iulia Simtion.

During the two-hour workshop you will make two ceramic sculptures – a spooky pumpkin and a little ghost or witch's hat. This workshop is perfect for kids five and over, and great family fun to get in the halloween spirit!

Your clay creations will be stored in our studio to dry slowly and will be fired twice, clear glazed and ready for you to collect approximately 2-3 weeks later.

Tickets are $45 and cover all materials.

This workshop is suitable for ages 5+

Koha will be accepted upon entry. 

About Iulia Simtion

Iulia is a Romanian-born ceramic artist and teacher. Iulia’s journey with pottery began as a teenager in the United States, where she was first introduced to hand building techniques. Years later, after a legal career in her native Romania and retraining as a teacher at the University of Auckland, Iulia reconnected with clay and fell deeply in love with the craft. For Iulia, working with ceramics is both a generous creative outlet and a steady source of positive energy.

In recent years, Iulia has been teaching pottery on the wheel. She also enjoys working on her own clay projects in her small home studio. Recently she has been working on a series of water pitchers inspired by Romanian folk art.
