Finding Healing Through Fire: Glassblowing Program for Veterans at Waterfall Arts

Waterfall Arts Community Outreach

We’re honored to share a powerful and inspiring program currently underway in the Waterfall Arts Glass Studio, a hands-on glassblowing class designed specifically for veterans. Rooted in the Creative Forces®: NEA Military Healing Arts Network, this class is more than just an art course; it’s a space for healing, connection, and self-discovery.

Glassblowing has been shown to be uniquely therapeutic, offering veterans a creative outlet to process trauma, build trust, and connect with others who understand their experiences. In this program, participants are guided by our team of highly skilled glass artists and teachers as they learn to shape 2,150-degree molten glass into stunning works of art.

Our goal is simple: to offer a space where veterans feel seen, supported, and inspired to reconnect with their creativity and each other.
