Life
Between 1950 and 1954, Strang completed an apprenticeship as a bossier at the State Porcelain Manufactory in Meißen . After graduation, he initially worked in the manufacture. At the invitation of Walter Arnold , he began studying art at the Dresden University of Fine Arts in 1955, specializing in the modeling of sculptures , which he completed with a diploma.
After a study trip to Albania, he returned to the Meißen porcelain factory in 1960 and was initially a freelancer there, then from 1968 as a permanent sculptor in the development department. From 1993 until his retirement he served as artistic director and chief sculptor of the manufactory.
