Amber Cowan's Flameworked Glass Scenes Under Cloches
Amber Cowan, an artist from Philadelphia, crafts elaborate flameworked glass sculptures that meld flowers, filigree, and vibrant ornaments into lush, storybook-like creations. By utilizing industrial remnants, antiques, and other discarded materials, she incorporates colors and products that are no longer available. Currently, Cowan is concentrating on cloche and coupe sculptures, in addition to her wall-mounted pieces. She has upcoming exhibitions at the Museum of Craft and Design in San Francisco this September and at Design Miami in December. Presently, her work can be seen in 'The Passion of Collecting' at The Baker Museum in Naples, Florida. Recent creations include 'Swans in Delphite and Rosalene' (2026) and 'Pheasants in Shell' (2025), among others. Cowan also showcases her work on Instagram.
