Hudson Beach Glass is one of the Hudson Valley's premiere glasswork studios, owned and operated by Wendy and John Gilvey, Jennifer Smith, and Michael Benzer since 1987. While the company's main studio is operated within a renovated ice house, its public gallery and glassblowing demonstration facility is open to the public on Beacon's Main Street within a restored firehouse facility, easily accessible via the Beacon Metro-North train station. Visitors can view glassblowing demonstrations and observe a wide variety of glass works crafted by studio artists, including functional pieces and home items that may be purchased via the facility's art store. Visitors can also participate in glassblowing and glass sculpting classes, focusing on techniques such as glass bead making and ornament blowing. Public special events include participation in the city's monthly Second Saturday Beacon art walk.
