B. Jane Cowie
“In my early 20s, I travelled to England and Europe. It was there that I saw hot glass for the first time and I immediately fell in love with this molten material. Glass has a beauty and intensity like no other material. Symbolic of the fragility and beauty of life, it offers colour, texture, light and flowing form. Mesmerised by the glowing liquid and fascinated by how glass can be formed, I knew instantly I wanted to be a glassmaker for the rest of my life.”
B. Jane Cowie has been working with glass for over 25 years. Gaining a degree in Visual Arts from Sydney College of the Arts (1980-1983), her commitment to art making, desire to learn and passion for glass inspired her to travel extensively. She worked in numerous glass making studio and factories in Australia, England, Europe, USA, Japan, Singapore, India and China to develop making skills, increase her knowledge and gain an intimate understanding of glassmaking technique, expertise and installation applications.
