Works

Vases, boxes and free objects are Lambrecht's creations made of clay, fired using the raku process. But with his vessels and sculptures he is at home in both worlds: in free and applied art. He himself describes his works as follows: Simplicity, clarity, rigor are important criteria in the creation of my built and turned ceramic objects. Each piece is unique. The production is a tedious job. It takes up to a week for a vessel to be completed.

Lambrecht's work can be found in public collections (including in the Badisches Landesmuseum Karlsruhe, in the Ceramic Museum Berlin, in the Grassimuseum Leipzig, in the Nature in Art Museum in Gloucester in England and in various galleries (as a permanent collection)), as well as at markets and fairs , as well as in private hands.

Awards

The artist received his first award, the “Kleinkunstpreis Baden-Württemberg”, in 1996 with Trio Des Arts and Peter Schlack. He received an international award in 2001 at the 2nd Cheongju International Craft Biennale in Cheongju, Korea, Honorable Mention. Various ceramic prizes followed. In 2008 he received the Baden-Württemberg State Prize for Design, Art and Crafts 2008 for three of his submitted ceramic vessel objects. The state prize is awarded every two years.
