Gutte Eriksen (1918-2008) was educated at the School of Arts and Crafts in 1936, graduated in 1940, and exhibited for the first time at the Artists' Autumn Exhibition in 1938. She got her own workshop from 1941. After the war, in 1948 she worked with the well-known English ceramist Bernard Leach in St. Ives, Cornwall. Her early, stained earthenware works are linked in an independent form to old, popular pottery traditions. Later, under the influence of travels in France and Japan, she learned the technique of hard-fired earthenware, which has since been her ceramic expression. Her works are well-formed and useful, and her sense of the texturality of clay in connection with simple brown and greyish glazes was highly developed. Gutte Eriksen participated in all significant exhibitions of Danish crafts and has had solo exhibitions at e.g. Den Permanente 1955, in the Promotion of Handicrafts 1964 and in Kunstforeningen 1969 and 1987 and exhibited in Germany, France, England, Sweden and the USA. Gutte Eriksen taught 1968-71, 1973-74 and 1976-78 at the Jutland Art Academy, and her ceramics have been purchased by several art and design museums in Denmark as well as abroad. She was affiliated with the artists' association Kammeraterne 1970-90. Gutte Eriksen was awarded a large number of honours, including the Tagea Brandt Travel Grant in 1969, the Thorvald Bindesbøll Medal in 1985, the Danish Arts Foundation's lifetime grant in 1991, the Prince Eugen Medal in 2000 and the C. F. Hansen Medal in 2004.
