Blazing fires, glowing glass, precise movements passed down through generations. Here, glass is not just a material: it is an ancient art, deeply connected to the history of Venice and the identity of Murano.
You will enter a historic Murano glass factory and visit the production areas, accompanied by an expert guide, passing through furnaces, tools, and processes that still follow artisanal techniques handed down over time. You will witness live glassblowing and the creation of glass sculptures, observing how sand, heat, and breath can transform into light and surprising forms.
During the experience, you will also have the opportunity to get hands-on with the material, trying your hand at glassblowing alongside the master glassmakers. Afterward, you will explore the furnace's showroom, featuring original works and unique pieces that tell the story of the evolution of Venetian glass art.
What makes this experience special:
• A historic furnace in the heart of Murano
• Live demonstrations of glassblowing and sculpting
• The opportunity to try glassblowing yourself
• A living Venetian craft heritage
• A showroom with original artistic glass works
What you take home (besides the magic of Murano)
The wonder of having seen a liquid material take shape before your eyes. And a more authentic connection with one of Venice's most iconic artisanal traditions.
