About Kinship Glassworks

Classes. Art. Enjoyment.

Handcrafted items perfect for your home, office, or outdoor area. Each piece I craft is based on my classical training but created with modern techniques, so each is truly one-of-a-kind. I don’t just see this as a job, but as a passion, and grateful for every day to be able to create works of art from customers’ beautiful ideas.

Interested in artisan-made goods?

We also offer classes and private parties!

West Haven High School- Send Our Student Leaders to Drum Major Leadership Academy

My name is Donata Lupacchino, and I am the Band Director for the West Haven High School Band. Each year, I have a team of students who are leaders in our ensemble of 140 student musicians 

There is a fantastic leadership academy that I would love to send our students to over the summer to help to support their growth and development as leaders and musicians. It is called Drum Major Academy, and students spend 3 full days and nights working with world-renowned band staff. The cost of this camp is $735 per student. Here is the link to the camp for more information: https://drummajor.org/.

We have a Donors Choose project live to send the students to this camp. All donations made to Donors Choose are tax deductible, and the Dalio Foundation is currently matching all donations made to projects in Connecticut!
