About us 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 and metal 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.
