Glass is not only a fragile material from which our dishes are made, but also one that can be given great flexibility and have its properties changed by adding different ingredients, or even just heat. This opens the door to all kinds of creative uses of this wonderful material. Artist Amber Cowan takes old glassware, some over 100 years old, and turns them into magnificent and detailed works of art. We invite you to take a look at the following 18 photos, which show Amber’s works, and to be impressed by the detail, delicacy, and elegance that characterize them.
