Looking for a truly unique way to celebrate or bring people together?
At Water Street Glassworks, we offer hands-on glass experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Whether your group chooses glassblowing, fusing, or beadmaking, each participant will have the opportunity to create a personalized piece with guidance from our expert instructors.
This isn’t a typical “follow-the-leader” activity — every guest designs their own project, making each creation as individual as its maker. It’s the perfect blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and connection, designed to leave your group with both lasting memories and one-of-a-kind works of art.
What We Offer for Your Spring / Summer Events:
-
Glassblowing Studio: 4-6 participants (ages 12+)
-
Fusing Studio: Up to 16 participants (ages 10+)
-
Bead Studio: Up to 6 participants (ages 12+)
