Corning’s Gaffer District is pleased to welcome World Glass to Historic Market Street. Located at One West Market Street, Suite 8, World Glass serves multiple audiences – both glass collectors and glass artists. A gallery of glass art, including local artists such as G. Brian, Aaron Jack and Amy Ruza, provides visitors with an opportunity to peruse and purchase local glass art. In addition, a wide array of glass art supplies is available for purchase. Supplies include torches, tools, and over 300 choices of glass color. A number of additional supplies and tools are available by customer order.

As a flameworker and glass artist for several years, owner Josh Powers recognized the need for a local glass supply store. Powers notes, “By offering artist supplies and showcasing collectible glass art, we are able to completely service the local glass community.” Powers also noted that one of the best benefits of opening his local business is the ability to offer same- or next-day service and allow customers to save shipping costs that would be otherwise incurred by shopping online.

Corning's Gaffer District Executive Director Coleen Fabrizi notes, “It’s absolutely wonderful to see this addition to the glass industry segment of our Business District. Josh understands the needs of his customers and will provide another great customer service experience to the mix in Corning’s Gaffer District.”
