remained Artistic Director until shortly before her death in 2001.
The HB Workshops produce hand-crafted tableware and sophisticated building ceramics in the former cocklestove factory in Marwitz which is protected as a listed building. The building ceramics produced by the workshops are used in areas such as the preservation of historical monuments and in restoration work. Shaped bricks are produced by hand as one-off products or in short series production, in various different formats and profiles. These have been used, for example, in the Friedrichswerder Church and the Rotes Rathaus in Berlin, as well as in the Chorin Abbey and in the Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam." - (en.wikipedia.org 24.12.2019)
