Gudrum "Gutte" Agnete Tryde Eriksen (20 November 1918 – 8 July 2008) was a Danish ceramist whose works were influenced by the years she spent in Japan studying Asian techniques.
That year she also successfully exhibited in Stockholm in the Dansk Kunsthaandværk (Danish Craftmanship) show organized by Mogens Koch.
[1] After spending a couple of years working with Felix Møhl (1906–85), Eriksen established her own workshop in an old school in Hundested where she became a pioneering Danish potter, soon becoming recognized internationally.
From 1948, her distinctive works bore no decoration, relying on a glaze she learnt from the English ceramist, Michael Gill (born 1927) in 1950.
[1][5] In the early 1970s, Eriksen travelled to central Japan on several occasions, once again meeting Bernard Leach and studying Korean techniques which inspired her later work.
