Further Information

The American sculptor Danny Lane is best known for his glass sculptures and architectural work, some of which you may have seen at Jesus College, Microsoft Research Cambridge or the V&A. Because Danny would like to downsize before moving, there will be an opportunity to purchase works of different sizes at a discount after the studio tour.

Danny has been working in London since the 1980s. His work ranges from furniture and sculptures to monumental architectural pieces. Danny’s innovative approaches to manipulate glass have allow him to put this material to unprecedented uses. In fact, Borealis (pictured below) is believed to be the largest glass sculpture in the world, but he also works with marble, steel and wood. Consequently, his studio is best described as a cross between a foundry and an alchemist’s den.

Refunds are not possible, unless the visit is cancelled by Kettle’s Yard. Should the visit be sold out, please email friends@kettlesyard.cam.ac.uk to join the waiting list as additional places might become available.

Transport and Access

This is an own-transport event. Danny’s studio is in an industrial estate near Kensal Green Cemetery (19 Hythe Road, London NW10 6RT). Please consult Google Maps to find out how to best reach it by public transport. Alternatively, free parking is available on the road outside of the studio.

The studio is on the ground floor, but there are some steps, and some parts of the studio are narrow.
