Students from Lake Michigan College's Art Appreciation class and Bridgman High School's Advanced Art classes took a field trip to Water Street Glassworks in Benton Harbor, Michigan. During the visit, students toured the studio, learned about the glassmaking process, and watched a live glassblowing demonstration.
The demonstration gave students an up-close look at the tools, techniques, and skills involved in transforming molten glass into a finished work of art. It was a great opportunity to experience a different art medium, see professional artists at work, and connect to the local arts community.
