Collected by many…

With a reputation for consistent quality, efficiency and professionalism, Glenn has many loyal stockists for whom he has supplied work since 1995.

A frequent exhibitor in exhibitions of Irish craftsmanship in Ireland and overseas, Glenn also gets the opportunity to make one-off pieces. These art pieces find their way into important collections such as the Dept of Foreign Affairs Embassy Collection and the Royal Dublin Society Collection. In addition, numerous dignitaries have received a Glenn Lucas one-off piece as a gift from Heads of State such as President Mary McAleese.

Collectors of fine craft have also purchased Glenn’s work from exhibitions such as Sculptural Object Functional Art (SOFA) in Chicago, and the touring Crafts Council of Ireland shows, Forty Shades of Green and Ecology Mythology Technology. This one-off work can also be seen in select galleries, and frequently receives critical acclaim.

Statement

Pure curves appear everywhere in nature. From the roundness of a full moon to the flowing curve of an onion bulb. I select shapes from this rich source. I add precision and crispness.

Balancing nature-inspired shapes with man’s technical precision is at the core of my work. Colour and grain of Irish woods are chosen carefully to complement the design of the piece.

I make my pieces from native Irish hardwood sourced locally. Each piece is dried slowly in a kiln to ensure that it is suitable for use in the home. This process takes up to eight weeks. It is then hand turned on a lathe to produce the purest of form. Finished with natural oils to protect the wood this also maintains the richness of the grain. My work is enjoyed and treasured by lovers of craftsmanship and lovers of food around the world.
