When he resigns from his teaching position, Hans Theo Richter and Lea Grundig take over from Hegenbarth. During the semester break, on the initiative of Rector Mart Stam, work in the university ceramics workshop offers them the opportunity to earn money. She is increasingly drawn to ceramics. So she then switches from graphics to studying ceramics. The design theory at the Dresden Art Academy is mainly shaped by Rudolf Kaiser and, for a short time, but also very lastingly, by Mart Stam, Hajo Rose and Marianne Brandt in the ceramic workshop. From 1955 to 1963 she was an artistic research assistant at the Institute for Applied Arts Berlin, Working Group Vessels.
