Description 

This small cup has a softly curved, bowl like silhouette that rests on a footed base. Thin vertical hand-carved flutes accentuate the form, and a dry finish of oak gall dye and local chalk pigment gives the surface a soft umber-orange tone that fade to a burnt brown tone as it reaches the foot.

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.
