Waterfall Arts Glassworks is transforming the former “Fallout Shelter” in the building’s basement into a 1,000-square-foot studio. Jacobson and Katsir, along with community volunteers, have been hard at work demolishing and renovating the interior space since late December 2020.
Waterfall Arts will host individual experiences, one-day and weekend workshops, and ongoing classes. Public demonstrations from visiting artists around the country will be featured in the diverse programming.
We are excited to note that the studio will be powered by electricity and waste vegetable oil rather than fossil fuels. The biofuel will be gathered from local restaurants and businesses, establishing new partnerships within Belfast’s vibrant community.
Waterfall Arts Glassworks includes two workstations, cold-working equipment, and ovens for annealing, fusing, and slumping. Our studio is designed to support hot and cold glass working. Face masks are required.
Waterfall Arts Glassworks currently requires all participants to be fully vaccinated.
