You Can Make a Difference!

YOU make it possible to keep the fires burning at Water Street Glassworks and help us continue enriching the community through art.

As a nonprofit school dedicated to glass and metal arts, we’re committed to igniting creativity and fostering artistic expression for people of all ages. Through programs like Fired Up! for teens, homeschool courses, Cardea Beads, and our diverse selection of glass arts classes, we make the transformative power of "fire arts" accessible to everyone.

Join us as we celebrate 22 years as an anchor in the Benton Harbor Arts District. Please consider making a gift to support Water Street Glassworks and our Fired Up! Teen After-School Program. Your generosity truly makes a difference—for our young artists and for the future of WSG as a whole.

Running a nonprofit glass studio and school comes with significant costs: materials, equipment, energy, instructors, and the ongoing maintenance of our studios. Your gift helps ensure that WSG remains a welcoming, inspiring place for everyone who walks through our doors.

Your donation will help us: 

• Provide instruction, materials, equipment, snacks, and field trips for our Fired Up! students.
  
• Expand our class offerings for both first-time students and seasoned artists.
  
• Maintain essential tools, glass, equipment, and overall studio operations.
  
• Promote creative experiences that connect people through public events, exhibitions, visiting artists, and community engagement.
  

Every donation—no matter the size—has an immediate impact. Thank you for supporting WSG as we look ahead to a bright and creative 2026. Donate by December 31, 2025.
