Established in 2004 Founded in 2004 by a pair of pipe-makers, The Bern Gallery has been at the forefront of the functional glass movement for over a decade. More than just another hippy-dippy-head-shop, the Bern Gallery is a multidimensional destination, a must-see for any glass aficionado or glass artist. In 2006, the Bern Gallery's Pipe Classic made history as the world's first pipe-making competition. Ever-committed to growing the glass community, the Bern Gallery began offering lessons in pipe-making in 2007. Since then, the Bern Gallery has expanded its educational footprint to include full course packages in pipe, pendant, and marble-making. In 2008, seizing a must-needed niche in the neighborhood, the Bern Gallery established Burlington's first, and only Hookah bar. Whether it's pushing the glass medium to its outermost limits, providing artists with a platform, or patrons a marketplace, the Bern Gallery is, and always has been, a torchbearer, the leader of the Northeast scene.
