After attending the secondary school for girls, she studied painting from 1900 to 1903 in Munich and Königsberg. She learned pottery from 1905 to 1907 in Berlin and at the ceramic college in Bunzlau . In Berlin, at the suggestion of the inventor Marcello Pirani , she visited the Technical-Chemical Institute of the Royal Technical University as a guest student in 1905 to study the chemical-technical processes of the materials. She also gained practical experience through internships in the Bremen State Laboratory.

She was in various pottery factories, u. a. in Silesia and Bremen, before setting up her own ceramic workshop in Bremen-Horn , district Achterdieck, in 1911 . In 1912 she was the first woman to take the master craftsman's examination at the Bremen Chamber of Commerce.
