Margit Denz - Career
The visual artist Mag art. Margit Denz, specializing in ceramics, sculpture and design, was born in 1964 in Dornbirn, Austria.
From 1980 to 1984, she attended the vocational school for wood and stone sculpture in Innsbruck. Subsequently, from 1984 to 1990, she studied ceramics and design at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna under Matteo Thun. From 1990 to 2001, she ran her own studio in Vienna.
Today Denz lives and works in Dornbirn and Vienna.
Her artistic work combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. For Villeroy & Boch, Margit developed her own coffee service landscapes that unite design and function in a new way.
In the exhibition "Almrausch & Alpenglühen" she explored Austrian Alpine clichés and reinterpreted them visually.
In this context, Denz designed specially crafted porcelain horns for the brass ensemble Mnozil Brass .

"My studio
"is my retreat."
The ceramics workshop - between porcelain hearts and other sculptures
For her, the workshop is more than just a workspace: it is a laboratory, an archive, and a space for reflection all in one. Here, designs are created, models are made, castings are poured, glazed, and fired. Right there – with a view over Dornbirn – the elaborate production process of the popular DenzHerzen and other sculptures takes place.
It is a place where ideas take shape – in the tension between craftsmanship and artistic freedom. Here, the artist and mother of three grown daughters lives out her joy in creating and expresses her creativity – and at the same time, she finds her personal sanctuary.
Her studio is located in Dornbirn, in western Austria, nestled between nature and the city. Once a month, plaster molds and glazing pots give way to clay wheels, making room for all those who want to "set the tone" themselves. In two-day modeling courses, Margit guides complete beginners and advanced students alike in sculpting their own figures from clay.
