Description 

A short ash wood cup with an elegant, clean silhouette, moving from a wide opening to a softly curved foot. The dry exterior is finished in an ombré from dark to soft umber-orange, its surface carrying the suggestion of an abstract landscape. Inside, a brighter umber-orange emerges, coloured with locally foraged poppy and oak gall dyes.

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.
