I have a soft spot for vintage pressed glass. My grandmother had tons and in a few boxes in storage somewhere, I have my own collection of milk glass. So when I spotted the work of Philadelphia artist Amber Cowan, I was immediately in love.
Cowan creates her magical sculptures from a process of flameworking, blowing, and hot-sculpting thrifted American pressed glass. The most amazing form of creative upcycling! With its tightly bunched flora and peek-a-boo fauna, Cowan’s work takes on a wonderfully gothic, fairy tail-like effect, like intricate illustrations come to life.
