Diane SKINNER

Having studied with Pam Booth and Ron Wood, Diane Skinner feels there are two sides to her work: sculpting and coiling in clay, and then working in fibreglass and resin.  Preferring not to cast, she creates individual bird-sculptures using her hands, manipulating the clay in order to shape each feather individually. Handpainting each piece also brings her birds to life.
