Description

Travel to Murano by water taxi from Venice and visit a historic glass factory. Meet a master glassmaker in his studio, learn about his work, and create your own glass artwork.
Begin your experience in Venice, where you will meet your local host and receive an introduction to the history of Venetian glassmaking and its importance to the city's artistic heritage.

Travel across the Venetian Lagoon by private water taxi to Murano, the island internationally renowned for its glassmaking tradition. Your first stop is a historic glass factory, where you will discover traditional glassmaking techniques during a live demonstration. Observe how skilled artisans transform molten glass into intricate artistic forms and learn about the craftsmanship that has made Murano famous throughout the world.

The experience continues with its most distinctive element: access to the private home and personal studio of a Murano master glassmaker. Away from the usual factory-tour setting, you will discover the environment in which the artist develops his work and expresses his individual artistic vision.

Meet the master personally and learn about his creative journey, the techniques he has perfected over the years, and the inspiration behind his artworks. Discover the relationship between traditional Murano craftsmanship and contemporary glass art through the perspective of an artist whose creations have reached an international audience.

The highlight of your visit is an exclusive, hands-on workshop guided by the master himself. Discover the creative process behind Murano glass and take part in making your own glass artwork under his personal guidance. Learn about the materials, tools, and techniques involved while experiencing the care and precision required to transform glass into an artistic creation.

After the workshop, enjoy a traditional Venetian aperitivo and reflect on your experience in the world of Murano glassmaking.
