Cardea Bead Program: Volunteers are invited to the flameworking studio to make beads for cancer patients. The Cardea Bead program creates a tangible expression of their journey. WSG provides training and materials are provided at no cost to participants. The Cardea Beads program is supported by Marie Yeager Cancer Center and Berrien County Cancer Service. Learn More >>

Events: We have several events throughout the year including Art Hops, Hot Glass Cold Beer, and the annual Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff. Greeters, sales, helping with refreshments... our volunteers contribute to the success of our events!

Facilities: We could always use a hand keeping our studios and gallery in tip top shape! We schedule regular "cleaning days" and could also use some help keeping our gallery shining!
