School, Studios, & Gallery Dedicated to the Glass Arts

Water Street Glassworks is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) school and public access studio, located in the Benton Harbor Arts District offering classes in the glass arts, exhibitions, and events for all ages. Following nine years of building renovations and studio equipment construction combined, WSG opened its doors to the public in January 2004 and is an established educational anchor in the Benton Harbor Arts District. We create partnerships with other educational entities so that we can foster community renewal; renewal that stems from collaborating with other community arts programs.

Our Dorris Akers Gallery is located in the Historic Hinkley Building at 140 Water Street in Benton Harbor. We are proud to represent talented artists, instructors, and staff who create their work in the Water Street Glassworks studios. The gallery features the "fire arts" including blown glass, fused glass, enamel and lampwork jewelry, and stained glass. The gallery is curated for the seasons and there is always something fresh and new. Sales from our gallery help keep the fires burning and a portion of your purchase goes towards Water Street Glassworks programming.
