From age two to seven she lived in the United States, after which her family returned to Germany.

They moved to Hessel where Gordon’s family had summered for generations, and founded Northwind Pottery, producing earthernware pottery from local, hand-dug clay. Annegret was responsible for much of the decorating, finding inspiration in the woods, shorelines, water, and plant life that surrounded her.
