Otto Lindig (1881 - 1966) attended drawing and sculpting classes in Lichte, Thuringia, from 1911 to 1913. He then taught sculpture for two years at the Bechstein atelier in Llmenau. In 1913, he continued his studies at the School of Fine Arts in Weimar, where he was taught by Richard Engelmann. He set up his own studio in 1917, and enrolled at the Bauhaus Weimar in 1919. He was apprenticed in the ceramics workshop in Dornburg, and later became the head of its technical and commercial division. Under his direction, it began producing wares combining mass-production techniques with handcraft for the Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanfabrik and the Staatliche Porzellanmanufaktur Berlin. In 1926, Lindig became the head of the ceramics workshop at the Staatliche Bauhochschule Weimar in Dornburg, running the Dornburg ceramics work independently from 1930. He taught ceramics master classes at the Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste in Hamburg from 1947 to 1960. (Phillips de Pury & Luxembourg)
