Gudrum Agnete Tryde Eriksen, better known as Gutte Eriksen (born November 20, 1918 in Rødby, died July 8, 2008), was a Danish ceramic artist.
Originating from Rødby, she attended a domestic science school before developing an interest in working with clay. She joined the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen in 1936 and debuted a few years later at the Artists' Autumn Exhibition. During a stay with ceramist Bernhard Leach, who lived in Cornwall, she became acquainted with Japanese ceramics. This experience played a significant role in shaping her distinct style, characterized by simplicity, robustness, and multi-stage firing.
For many years, she had her workshop in Hundested, where she lived and worked alongside her husband, the painter Preben Holm Hansen. Her works were displayed in exhibitions across much of the world. She taught for several years at the Jutland Art Academy and served as a censor for the Artists' Autumn Exhibition and as a member of the National Art Foundation's committee for crafts.
She was married to the painter Preben Hansen.
