Description 

Cylindrical cup made from locally sourced larch, resting on a small foot. Subtle vertical carved facets run along the body, while a mix of botanical dyes (alder catkin, grape vine, charcoal, saffron, walnut, and oak gall) creates muted tones on the exterior and warmer hues inside. Blotches and marks from the application of dye add a lively, hand-crafted quality, with a dry tung-oil finish unifying 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.
