Internationale Keramiktage Oldenburg
Master of Ceramic Art in Oldenburg
Ceramic art from all over Europe
The “Internationale Keramiktage Oldenburg” have been a yearly staple of Germany’s ceramics scene since 1999, when the Werkschule – Werkstatt für Kunst und Kulturarbeit e.V. first organised them.
For two days, Oldenburg’s Schlossplatz is transformed into a bustling ceramics market, with 100 masters of the art displaying their work. Participants travel from all over Europe and beyond to take part, and are curated with the aim of offering a wide range styles and techniques to visitors.
Accompanied by a diverse programme featuring exhibitions, awards, and workshops with some of the artists, Oldenburg’s international ceramics fair is not one to miss!

Ceramic Artist Portrait 2026
The Ceramic Artist Portrait is a special highlight of Oldenburg’s international ceramics fair. This year, artists Kati Jünger and Claudia Kraml will introduce their work and offer fascinating insights into their radically different approaches and techniques – uniting theme is the telling of stories through ceramic objects. The format offers collectors, ceramics enthusiasts, and practitioners alike an exclusive opportunity to experience outstanding contemporary ceramic artists up close as they work. With live demonstrations, visual material, and narratives on artistic development, a varied program awaits you. The shared lunch provides a particularly inviting setting for exchange. The event will be moderated by Martin McWilliam.
The one-day workshop will take place on July 31, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The venue is Werkschule e.V. Oldenburg, Rosenstraße 41, 26122 Oldenburg.
The participation fee is 60 euros (including a light lunch, coffee, tea, and water). The workshop will be held in German.
Claudia Kramls
Claudia Kraml is a master of figurative storytelling. She works with clay that has a high grog content and combines various modeling techniques in her workflow. Some sculptures are built up as a solid mass and later hollowed out, while others are constructed with a hollow core from the beginning. Colored slips, paints, printing techniques, and oxide glazes are applied in numerous layers and compacted through multiple firing phases. Selected pieces are given a finishing touch with fine details such as luster, gold, or ceramic decals. This multi-step process gives rise to the characteristic complexity, depth, and fragile expressiveness of her figures. Claudia Kraml was born in 1977 in Kirchheim/Teck. She worked as a registered nurse until 2014, before enrolling at the Freie Kunstakademie Nürtingen to study painting and ceramics, graduating in 2019. She lives and works in Bissingen-Ochsenwang. In addition to numerous exhibitions in galleries across Germany, Kraml's works have also been on display in France.

Kati Jünger
Kati Jünger is one of the leading contemporary artists in the field of ceramic vessels. After completing her apprenticeship, she studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. She has been working in her own studio in Laufen since the early 1990s. At the heart of her work lies the interplay between form and surface. Her pieces – primarily vases, cups, and teapots – are characterized by rich relief textures and multi-layered ornamentation, composed of a wide variety of found objects and motifs. This results in narrative, almost pictorial surfaces that lend each object its own story. Another hallmark of Jünger’s style is the fusion of tradition and innovation: she combines classical ceramic techniques with materials such as glass, metal, or epoxy resin. Despite this spirit of experimentation, the functionality of her vessels remains a priority for her. Kati Jünger has received numerous awards for her work, and her pieces are represented in collections worldwide.
