Artisan Suzan Kruger’s tiny wooden toys

Artisan Suzan Kruger

Suzan Kruger was a member of MET more than 20 years ago. She sold her charming wooden toys and furnishings at North American shows throughout the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Some club members recall her teaching a class in the early 80’s on how to make the little clown bead toy that you’ll see here in the video. Suzan created her tiny automatons by hand from wood, which she then hand-painted and animated with impossibly thin wires. Their whimsical folk-art look makes them instantly recognizable and although Suzan is no longer with us, we are lucky to have a few of her pieces to share with you.
