We are excited to invite you to a special evening as we unveil our highly anticipated 2025 Glass Pumpkin Collection! Be among the first to "pick" from the patch, including a limited-edition pumpkin created by our talented artists to commemorate WSG's 21st Anniversary.

Proceeds from the evening support Water Street Glassworks. Join us in celebrating 21 years as an educational anchor in the Benton Harbor Arts District, bringing "fire arts" to the community.

The evening will feature:

  • Silent Auction: Bid on unique glass pieces, experiences, and exciting items.
  • Limited Edition Pumpkins: Don't miss out on the chance to be the first to own a limited edition pumpkin, crafted by our artists to commemorate WSG's 21st Anniversary!
  • Glassblowing Demonstrations: Watch glass artists in action.
  • Refreshments: Enjoy light bites and beverages as you pick from the patch and mingle.

As a nonprofit organization, WSG relies on the support from our patrons, generous donors, and sponsors which enables us to make the "fire arts" accessible to everyone. If you would like to be a sponsor, contact: Donna Sauers at donna@waterstreetglassworks.org or call 269.925.5555.
