Murano Glass blowing class
Discover the ancient art of Murano glassblowing in our Beginner Furnace Workshop on the island of Murano. Over a 2–3 hour session, you’ll learn the fundamentals of handling molten glass and create your very own masterpiece under the guidance of a Master Glassblower.
About the experience
Guided by a real Master Glassblower, you’ll explore a working furnace, learn the secrets of ancient Venetian techniques, and get hands-on with hot glass to create your very own Murano artwork.
No experience needed—just curiosity and the desire to create something truly unique. From the first spark of the furnace to the final shape of your handmade piece, this is more than a class: it’s a journey into fire, art, and centuries of craftsmanship.
