Hollowed from sustainably sourced silver birch, this cup features hand-carved, twisted flutes that wrap gently around the form. Locally foraged oak gall and acorn cap botanical dyes create layered brown tones that settle into the carved grooves, emphasising the movement and texture of the surface.
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.
