Description 

Crafted from sustainably sourced ash, this rounded cup rests on a small stand. A wash of local chalk and earth pigments, combined with oak gall, nettle, and walnut dyes, creates a dry, grainy surface. Soft layers of neutral colour orbit the vessel, appearing almost brushed on, settling into the wood.

About the Artist 

Glenn Dane works in Cambridgeshire, creating vessels and sculptural forms from locally and sustainably sourced wood. Using freshly cut green timber, he allows natural movement and distortion to shape each piece, preserving knots, fissures and grain as traces of growth. Cracks are stitched as acts of care, and surfaces are finished with hand-made dyes and pigments from foraged plants, seeds and earth. The works exist as abstract, three-dimensional landscapes that reimagine the countryside through form and colour.
