A childhood and teenage saturation in the methods of Greco-Roman and Classical sculpting have led to the production of sculptures in bronze and relief work for architecture, as well as various mold making and reproduction processes. Students are taught in this media, for example Margit Kelch was taught clay rose making in Bavaria and in a short time was able to produce and fire the roses shown.
