GAC 1948 Ceramic Painting Tools and Techniques

To see the various pieces available to paint, go to Rohkeramik – Lamooi

Advice, bring a drawing or picture of the design you want to paint.

*Tools to use (all tools will be provided by Lamooi – no additional charge)

• Stencil(s) for even, repetitive designs
• A pen or pencil to draw an outline
• A toothpick to scratch a design into a layer of paint (sgraffito)
• A brush to make splashes, speckles, dots, points and dabs
• A sponge for broad coverage or interesting texture

Techniques

Freihändig malen / Freehand painting
Freehand means what it sounds like – a chance to let one’s imagination and creativity run free! A chance to use colors and shapes with wild abandon! But be sure to let each layer dry before applying the next.

Vorzeichnen mit Stift / Sketching with a Pencil
Designs can be drawn onto the pottery piece as a guide for filling in color. The lines disappear after firing – but be careful not to press too hard.

Schablonen / Stencils
Stencils allow you to decorate your piece with intricate designs. Pay attention to the color contrast – the stencilled color should be darker than the background color.

Sprenkeln / Splattering
You can dip a toothbrush into your favorite color and run your thumb over the bristles. This will give you the typical, random ‚dots‘ on your ceramics.
Or you can dip a paintbrush in your favorite color then flick your wrist to create splash designs on your piece. But beware, this can get messy! Thankfully the paints wash out of clothing.

Punkte und Tupfen / Dots and Spots
You can easily create dots and spots on your ceramics. To do this, dip your paintbrush handle or a toothpick into the paint and dab the paint onto the surface. You can also create great patterns with small sponges.

Information taken from various sources on the internet.

Art Exhibition Katharina Grosse on Saturday, November 22, 2025

Dear Members and Guests,

Please join us on Saturday, November 22, at the Kunstgebäude downtown Stuttgart for a guided tour of the art exhibit

„Katharina Grosse – The Sprayed Dear“

Katharina Grosse is one of the most significant contemporary artists. For the Great State Exhibition Baden-Wuerttemberg 2025, she has engaged deeply with the architecture of the iconic central building on the Schlossplatz, transforming it into a vibrant, colour-saturated spatial experience.
The newly produced aluminum sculpture “The Sprayed Dear” forms the highlight of the exhibition. With this title, the artist refers to the landmark of this extraordinary exhibition space and plays on the English word “deer” for deer and the similarly sounding English term “dear” for something dear.

Dear Members and Guests,
We invite you to join us on Saturday, July 19 to visit the quaint little town of Heimsheim located about 30 km west of Stuttgart. We will get an exclusive tour of two very different looking castles built next to each other – and much more.

We will meet at 15:00h in Heimsheim at the castle courtyard (Schloßhof) in front of the two castles – the Schleglerschloss (built 1415 ) and the Grävenitz’sche Schloss (built 1730). As different as the castles appear, so different are their stories. We will learn more about their eventful histories as well as about the unique and mysterious story about the “Schleglerbund” – a union of knights formed at the end of the 15^th century rebelling against the looming decline of the knighthood.
The guided tours (1x English / 1x German) will start at 15:30h, including the Scheglerschloss with the knight’s hall (Rittersaal), the Grävenitz’sche Schloss with the banquet hall (restored stucco marble walls and ceiling paintings), the old town church and the former “Backhaus” – all buildings located around the courtyard.

Cost: 10 € for members; 20 € for non-members. We kindly ask for upfront payment. After confirmation of your sign-up, we’ll send you the payment information.

German Peasants’ War museum on Saturday, June 21, 2025

Dear Members and Guests,

Please join us as we visit the German Peasants’ War museum in Böblingen, on Saturday, 21 June, 2025. The Museum in the Zehntscheuer (Tithe Tax Granary) near the Marktplatz in Böblingen portrays the events surrounding the Peasants’ uprising which swept over southern Germany in 1525. The peasants and their leaders, taking over ideas springing from Martin Luther’s Reformation movement, which began only 8 years earlier, demanded freedom from their serfdom and the onerous taxes and duties they owed to their lords and the church. These ideas are expressed in the famous “12 Articles”, which can be seen as a kernel of democratic thought at the beginning of the modern era. The final battle of this war was fought near Böblingen in May 2025. Though the uprising was bloodily put down by the vested powers, the ideas then expressed have lived on. (bauernkriegsmuseum.boeblingen.de).

The museum, located at Pfarrgasse 2, 71032 Böblingen, is celebrating the 500^th anniversary of the Peasants’ Warwith an updated collection and a special exhibit.

We will meet at the Museum at 14:45 hours on Saturday, 21 June
We will enjoy a tour beginning at 15:00 hours through the museum and special exhibit, conducted in German with English translation.The tour will last a little more than an hour. Following the tour, we will have a little time to look around on our ownbefore we head for dinner.

At 17:00 hours we will leave the museum and take a short walk to the Café Restaurant Seegärtle, Tübingerstrasse 7, 71032 Böblingen, Tel: 07031- 229828, www.seegaertle.de , where we will enjoy an evening meal together. The restaurant has a broad international style café and restaurant menu, with something for everyone. There we can get to know each other, discuss what we learned at the museum, and swap tall tales.
Come join us for another trip back into the past with the GAC 1948 Stuttgart!

Cost for the museum entry and tour is €5 for members and €10 for non-members. This money will be collected on site. Individual payment at the restaurant.

Please state with your reservation if you are joining us for dinner.

Best regards,

Altburg, North Black Forest on Saturday, May 17, 2025

Dear Members and Guests,

On Saturday, May 17, 2025, we invite you to come with us to the Northern Black Forest above Calw. We’ll visit the small town of Altburg that has a few hidden gems to offer, all within easy walking distance, which makes for an interesting and fun afternoon.

The historic Martinskirche (St. Martin’s Church) was officially documented first in 1342; however the Church Tower dates back to around 1200, the nave and choir to 1250-1300. The church was started in late Romanesque style and was later converted to late Gothic style. The historically most valuable artistic items are murals that were restored in the last century, they had been hidden or painted over for centuries.

The rectory dates back to 1784 and was built in baroque style; it was renovated in recent years and belongs to the official cultural heritage of Wuerttemberg. It is a big house with many rooms, as a rectory not only was the home of the pastor’s (usually big) family but also held offices and assembly rooms for the congregation. We are invited by the current pastor to visit the ground floor.

The Bauernhausmuseum (Farmhouse Museum) was built in 1813 and was inhabited by a farmer and his family until 1967. Eventually, in 1989, after extensive renovation, it was opened as the current farmhouse museum. It is a wonderfully authentic example of a stately farmhouse of the 1800s/1900s with features/furnishings of the time. We’ll even be served freshly baked waffles from an 1800s wood-fired stove on a built-in waffle iron.

Adjacent to the Farmhouse Museum, in the old hen house, a fully functional old smithy has been relocated and will be fired up for us. An apprentice of the last owner of the smithy will demonstrate his craftsmanship to us.

Timetable:
13:45 – 14:00 Meet at the Parkplatz behind the Rathaus (town hall) on Speßhardter Straße 1
14:00 – 14:30 Pfarrhaus/Rectory – guided tour of the ground floor
14:30 – 15:15 Church – guided tour
15:15 – 16:15 Bauernhausmuseum (Farmhouse Museum) – guided tour – fresh waffles coffee/tea 
16:15 – 17:15 Smithy 
17:30         Dinner at Gasthaus Hirsch (Italian food)
Please let us know if you will be joining us for dinner.

Cost: 10 € for members; 20 € for non-members. We ask for upfront payment. After confirmation of your sign-up, we’ll send you the payment information.
