Water Street Glassworks is excited to announce the launch of a new Visiting Artist Program, expanding its commitment to accessible arts education and community engagement. As part of this initiative, WSG will introduce Community Nights, a monthly series of live demonstrations and informal talks that bring the public into the studio for an up-close look at the art of glass. 

The series will kick off with visiting artist Todd Knight of Saugatuck, Michigan. A talented flameworker, Knight will share his passion for the medium through a live demonstration and conversation exploring the magic of glass beadmaking. Originally a Detroit native and performing artist, Knight discovered glass at the Ox-Bow School of Art in 2000. What began as a single class quickly grew into a lifelong pursuit, leading him to study glassblowing and casting across Michigan—including at Water Street Glassworks.

“Without an expressive medium we do not allow ourselves to be. Glass is a medium that takes energies from the right and left brain. A great exercise for the artistic spirit. I love it” - Todd Knight
