Jane Crisp

Jane Crisp is a British artist who lives and works in the Fenlands. While practice spans furniture making and homeware design, she has settled acute focus on the trug - an object that she elevated from a utilitarian object into one intense sculptural beauty through the use of traditional steam bending techniques that are inspired by boat building techniques local to Crisps workshop. Featuring overlapping construction fixed with copper nails, the trugs are strong yet light, functional and sculptural, and never fail to delight the eye.
