Brandt studied painting and sculpture at the Grand Ducal College of Fine Arts in Weimar. She returned to Weimar in 1924 to enroll at the Bauhaus, where she entered the metal workshop, under the newly appointed head Lszl Moholy-Nagy. Moholy-Nagy assisted by the silversmith Christian Dell, took over as the metal workshop's Form Master from Johannes Itten in 1923. In 1928 Brandt became temporary head of the metal workshop. In 1929 she left the Bauhaus to work in Walter Gropius&#39;s architectural office in Berlin (1928-29) before being appointed as a designer for the Ruppelwerk GmbH, a metalware manufacturer in Gotha (1929-1932). In 1932 she returned to Chemnitz and worked independently, returning also to painting. In 1949-1951 she taught at the Dresden College of Free and Applied Arts as well as the Institut fur Angewandte Kunst in Berlin (1951-1954). In her later years, she returned to painting and sculptures.
