Forever Glass - a quick look
It all started with 2 sisters....
Cathy and Bernadette started Forever Glass with a combined purpose. Cathy, a glass artist for over 20 years needed to create a self sustaining workplace for her adult son with autism. And Bernadette, a retired USAF veteran, devoted to her nephew and others like him, who need an accepting and welcoming workplace environment to learn the social skills required for competitive employment.
"We spent the past year searching and studying the best way to bring our product to market and decided on the rare and amazing technique of SPINNING hot glass. Once that was decided, we built our own prototype equipment from recycled parts and machinery. Then it was practice, practice, practice, pouring and handling the technical aspects of working with molten glass." Ta da! Success at last!

To all of our friends, family and Forever Glass supporters.
Thank you for your continued support of the Forever Glass mission. Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus, we have not been able to have team members come to work or to process any orders recently. At this time, we feel it best to stop all Forever Glass operations and are not sure when we will be able to start up again. We are so sorry if this causes you any inconvenience.
Many of you know that my sister, business partner and best friend, Bernadette, has been undergoing treatment for brain cancer (glioblastoma). Helping her and spending time together as a family is our first priority. This has made it even more critical that we maintain distance from everyone including our Forever Glass team members.
Bernadette has asked me to send a message to thank all of you that have offered prayers and sent love and support during this difficult time. It is uplifting and heartwarming to know how much everyone cares and our family is truly grateful.
If you wish to send a message to Bernadette, you can do so through my email cathy@foreverglass.works or post on our facebook page. I will make sure she sees them.
Thank you all for everything.

Preserving Memories * * * Empowering Passions
We're all about preserving memories… the ones from your special event and the ones made while transforming your bottles into bowls. Everyone enjoys reminiscing about those special times in our lives, and Forever Glass helps you keep those memories alive. Imagine the excitement you had on that special day, how you felt and what it meant to you - now imagine sharing that day with us - we'll capture those feelings and transform them into a keepsake bowl that you can treasure year after year.
We'll preserve your special memories by creating our beautiful Wedding Bowl or Artisan Keepsake Bowl made from your recycled bottles, from your special day. Want a green wedding gift and don't have any bottles, no problem. You can also choose from our stock of colorful recycled bottles collected from local wineries. You can even choose to have us personalize your bowl by engraving/etching the details of your special event. These bowls can be handed down from generation to generation with the knowledge that you are forever cherishing your memories and at the same time helping to empower adults on the autism spectrum to shine on.
Forever Glass was created to empower adults with autism in a welcome and accepting community. These unique and inspiring artisan team members provide a never ending source of passion, creativity and joy to our process. Our team members help out in every part of our process including designing our one of a kind Artisan Keepsake Bowls.
