Description 

Hollowed from sustainably sourced maple, this cup is hand carved with vertical facets that create subtle ledges within the form. Natural knots and splits pierce the vessel, revealing the wood’s character and the tree’s life. The surface carries a mix of dark, light and soft pink tones from locally foraged botanical dyes, emphasising the grain and textures of the wood.

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.
