Description 

This small cup is made from sustainably sourced maple, with a subtly flared base. Hand-carved facets cover the surface in a repeating pattern, creating a textured, undulating form. A crack running from base to rim is stitched in five places, while the dark surface is interrupted by a large pale grey blotch, adding contrast and character.

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.
