Dianne Cross Ceramics
Dianne makes hand built vases, wall pieces, boxes, bottles and vessel forms with washes of cobalt and copper over a matt white glaze sometimes adding a ‘pop’ of yellow. She wants to evoke a feeling of the sea shore and coastline so these are imagined seascapes/landscapes rather than illustrating a specific view.
New work has a lighter palette, matt textured surfaces, an architectural feeling and abstract, sometimes still life, images. These are paired with bright lilac and yellow inner glazes.
Dianne works in her garden studio overlooking the Aire valley in Yorkshire.
