About this Event

About this Workshop

We all have someone or something to care and yet everyone’s way of caring is quite different.

In this gentle, hands-on workshop, we’ll explore what care feels like through clay: how it softens, holds, or resists.

Working slowly with our hands, we’ll use the material as a mirror for our inner world tracing the places where care nurtures and where it overwhelms.

There’s no goal to make something perfect; the process is the reflection.


Why Join?

This session is for anyone curious about emotional expression, embodiment, and the act of caring; for oneself, for others, for the world. No experience with clay is needed, only openness and curiosity.

Together we’ll build a small, supportive community for two hours and you will take home your unique handmade sculpture with you as a souvenir. Many participants describe these sessions as tender, grounding, and unexpectedly healing.


About the Artist

Simge Vurtak is a ceramic artist and founder of Object Petit a, a practice rooted in clay and reflective making. Her work often draws on themes of migration, emotional landscapes, and the body as a site of both fragility and resilience.

Alongside her studio practice, Simge creates intimate, process-based workshops that invite others to explore their own stories through tactile engagement using clay as a medium for reflection, connection, and release.
