Lina Wiedwald (Lüneburg)
Lina Wiedwald (Lüneburg) explores the boundary between vessel and sculpture during her residency. In her works, she combines relief-like surfaces with drawn underglaze motifs that appear like enchanted visual worlds on the ceramic. Through layering, partial concealment, and transparent glazes, ambiguous compositions emerge. In this way, the processes of becoming and concealment become visible, opening new perspectives on the interplay of material, form, and memory.

Justina Moncevičiūtė (Lithuania) explores the relationship between text, textile structures, and ceramics at the Keramikkünstlerhaus. The starting point of her work is historical carmina figurata – double-readable text-image forms in which visual and linguistic structures intertwine. Using ceramic segments, the artist develops object-like compositions that function like woven texts. Based on feminist writings, spatial “pattern poems” emerge that interconnect language, material, and structure.
