Diana Hoover is a ceramic artist, based in Asheville, NC, and working under the studio name Knook Ceramics. She creates functional pieces that explore the intersection of contemporary craft with fine art and design, often incorporating sculptural elements such as exaggerated curves and oversized, industrial-looking handles. Deeply influenced by the Bauhaus, minimalist art, neo-concretism, geometric abstraction, and modern quilting, her body of work is wheel-thrown and hand built with a creamy white clay body and an emphasis on surface decoration. Diana is a Center for Craft WNC Craft Futures Cohort Recipient.
