About the Artist:
Emmet was born and raised in Castledermot, Co. Kildare. He comes from five generations of Master Craftsmen. Self-taught, Kane creates thin-walled hollow forms which defy the difficulties of the medium and whose use of colour, is more readily associated with ceramics or glass. Today, he works predominantly in native hardwoods, citing a particular fondness for Irish oak, which he textures and ebonises, gilds and colours. At times, his work looks like glass or plastic, even metal, until you draw near and see the texture or grain and wonder just how it was achieved. Emmet has accepted invitations to teach, lecture and demonstrate his unique brand of woodturning around the world, including woodturning symposiums in Australia, Finland, England, France, Norway, Germany, and USA and throughout the Island of Ireland.
