Description 

Hollowed from sustainably sourced silver birch, this wide, deep vessel is finished with locally foraged botanical dyes and sealed with beeswax. The carved surface creates subtle vertical lines and a smooth yet textured feel. The exterior has a soft shine from the dyes and wax, while the interior remains matte, revealing the natural wood. Patches of layered colour and areas of silver birch peek through, highlighting the material’s character and the traces of making.

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.
