Curriculum Vitae Ingelore Sandeck

• Born 1940
  
  
  
• 1960 Matriculation (Abitur), took a degree in Education while simultaneously attending the Hamburg Academy of Art, Metal work class with Prof. Tuempel
  
  
• After 1965: working with enamel, at this time still as a side interest.
  
  
  
• From 1969: working on iconography. Making (actually it is called: writing) icons means, being bound to strict rules. So, when a colour comes out of the kiln in a different shade, than intended, it cannot be tolerated. These years taught me among other things to very well know about colours, firing temperatures and firing time.
  
  
• Since 1979 free artistic expression. Enamel is no longer regarded under the categories: Right/wrong as with the icons. Experimentation is welcome. I do, what I feel like, not what I should.
  
  
  
• Since 1986: arts and crafts enameling, back to the small size: fine cloisonné work, grinding.
  
  
  
• Since 1994: contracts to work on ecclesiastical vessels and regalia have led to new experiences with enamel on silver.
  
  
  
• Since 2002: the opportunity to use large kilns in Kecskemét (Hungary) have led to new experiments in larger format.
