Welcome to my website. I am Wilma Kruseman, ceramicist.
In addition to being a ceramicist, I am also a garden and landscape architect, and you can see that influence in my work. My objects are hand-formed ceramics. I am often inspired by green spaces and nature. Many of the sculptures I make are of birds that I know from my garden or from nature. I love observing birds, and I find it exciting to capture the essence of a bird, its characteristic posture, and movement in clay.
Many of my sculptures remain outdoors in the garden year-round, even in winter. This is because they are stoneware, fired at high temperatures so that the clay vitrifies into "stoneware," making it non-porous. However, with certain exciting clay types that contain small stones, it's not always certain that the sculptures are frost-resistant. It's still ceramics, so footballing children or falling branches during a storm can cause damage.
Much of the work stays in the garden and our house before I am ready to part with it, allowing it to be sold.
If you are interested in viewing my work, please feel free to contact me to make an appointment.
In spring 2026 I participated in the exhibition Ode to Nature in the Dutch National Tree Museum Gimborn with the installation "Short-eared owls", a group of 8 owls.
This year I will be participating in the Atelierroute Driebergen on Saturday, October 3th, and Sunday, October 4th. Everyone is welcome between 12:00 and 17:00.
