Description 

This wide cup is made from sustainably sourced maple, with hand-carved facets and a small base. The surface combines tea and iron dyes with a contrasting cream-coloured crackle effect applied in areas, creating subtle variation. A dry finish extends across the exterior and interior, giving the cup a tactile, understated quality.

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.
