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.
