Waterfall Arts Glassworks
Waterfall Arts Glassworks is the only full-time, community-based, public-access glassblowing studio of its kind in Maine.
Founded by glass artists David Jacobson and Carmi Katsir in 2020, Waterfall Arts Glassworks opens the wonderful world of hot glass to the public. The studio accommodates participants of all skill levels, from first-timers to experienced glassblowers. Waterfall Arts is proud to note that the studio is one of the few in the United States that is powered by electricity and waste vegetable oil rather than fossil fuels.
Waterfall Arts Glassworks is supported through generous donations, including a contribution by the Kao family in memory of William Kao, honoring his lifelong fascination with glass arts and crafts, as well as the great joy he found in learning to blow glass. It is the family’s hope that the students of Waterfall Arts Glassworks will discover a similar joy.
