Description 

Hollowed from sustainably sourced ash, this short cup features hand-carved vertical etching lines arranged in four subtle bands around the form. Natural cutting marks create a swirling wood pattern at the centre and base of the cup. A dark, dry wash of locally foraged oak gall and rust settles into the surface, enhancing the grain and carved texture.

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.
