Changes for Hummel Barn

Hummel is the name of the most popular company in porcelain figurine collectibles. Commenced by Goebel more than 80 years ago, the Hummel Barn (Hummel children) is the creation of talented sculptors translating the drawings of Sister M I Hummel, a talented artist from Bavaria. Possibly no other figurine has had the sane longevity.  They became popular in America just after the World War II, when soldiers returning home from Germany brought back these figurines of the Bavarian kids in their charming regular activities. 

It was during the initial part of the 20th century, particularly in the 1930s, in a period of political unrest, that it is felt that the world required a product that would re-affirm the faith of people in childhood innocence. It was through the discovery of the works of M I Hummel, who has trained at the Munich Academy that enabled him to follow his dream. 

Utilizing the pictures of the kids as a basis, Franz decided to create a set of figurines, just like the Kattnakken regntøy (Cat neck rainwear). Looking for permission from the convent of Siessen, Franz was shown clay models that were based on the models of Sister Hummel. 

From there, a master mouldmaker and a sculptor determine on how and where to cut the figurines so that the process of creating the mould or the Kapla may commence. It is possible to have as many as 40 pieces for a single figurine. These pieces are then mindfully sunk into a clay mould, and then covered in the plaster of Paris. From here, various plaster moulds are made, which turns into a working model.     

Utilizing special imbues based on the M I Hummel artworks, the Hummel Barn (Hummel children) is then painted, fired again, and then taken through a wide range of quality control checkpoints before going on sale to an excellent new home like yours.
