Amber Hiscott was born in Swansea and studied in the Architectural Glass Department of Swansea College of Art from 1972-5, after which she studied with Ludwig Schraffrath in Germany during 1976. With the help of the Crafts Council she established her practice at a studio in Gloucester Place, Swansea.
