Prof. Heinz Deuser is the founder and developer of „Arbeit am Tonfeld®“ (the „Work on the Clay Field“- method), which he has been continuously developing and spreading since 1972. In 1984, together with his wife Ortrud, he founded the Institut für haptische Gestaltbildung („Institute for Haptic Gestalt Education“), which has since served as the basis for the practical application, research and dissemination of this method. Core insights into the significance of haptic self-movement and perception in therapeutic and educational contexts are developed there.
 
From 1989 to 2005, Prof. Heinz Deuser taught at the Nürtingen University of Applied Sciences, where he contributed his many years of experience in research and teaching. At the same time, he has been dedicating himself to internationally spreading the Work on the Clay Field® method in seminars, lectures and further training courses. To this day, he makes the method accessible to many interested people and establishes its application in various professional disciplines.
