ARTIST
Spijkerboor, Noord-Holland. Here, in an old farmhouse at the end of the world, ceramist Anouk Kramer lives with her family: her husband, three daughters and all her animals...

’Where does she find her inspiration? ‘The outdoors just as much as the city. The idea that I can go to town to visit a museum and then return to these fields. I’m not someone who needs to be constantly fed by the city’s impulses.’ Being out here means taking care of the animals, boating on the ditches that run between the meadows and hunting with her family. ‘I find inspiration in hunting. I like how complete the story is: you clean and eat the animal you shoot. It’s as simple as it gets.’ Over the last year the most one sees of Anouk’s work is in magazines. Especially the rustic tea cups, bowls and plates with a golden rim. All black clay, white glaze and perfect in their imperfection. No plate is like the other. ‘I like to give beauty to everyday objects.
Anouk’s work is sold in a selected group of stores in the Netherlands, including Menno Kroon in Amsterdam. But she also has more commercial line, Anouk for &K in the shops of &Klevering based on the idea that her work should be accessible for everyone.
