Waterfall Arts Glassworks transformed the former “Fallout Shelter” in the building’s basement into a 1,000-square-foot studio. Jacobson and Katsir, along with community volunteers, renovated the interior space in late December 2020.
Waterfall Arts hosts individual experiences, one-day and weekend workshops, and ongoing classes. Public demonstrations from visiting artists around the country are featured in the diverse programming.
We are excited to note that the studio is powered by electricity and waste vegetable oil rather than fossil fuels. The biofuel is gathered from local restaurants and businesses, establishing new partnerships within Belfast’s vibrant community.
