Glass Blowing Experience with Glass Master
Overview
A great value for money for this hands-on experience!
Board a private water taxi and head to the island of Murano. Meet a member of the team who will explain all the different steps of the production, including the materials and the different techniques. During this explanation, a Murano Glass Master will show you how to work the glass.
Then, blow the Murano Glass yourself. Safety is a priority, so the Glass Master will help you during this experience. Try your hand at blowing the famous Murano Glass (you are not making any item that you can take home).
At the end of the blowing experience, visit the showroom that houses pieces made by the greatest Murano Glass Masters. Purchase the best quality Murano Glass pieces and have them shipped to your home.

Meeting and Pickup

What To Expect
Guests will find a private water taxi at their hotel to go to the island of Murano, and discover the art and the history of the Glass production. Once travelers reach the Glass factory, they will meet a member of our staff that will take care of them. The activity will start by watching the Glass Master working. Travelers will see how he produces glass art pieces and then they will blow the glass along with the master. It is a first step into this world, a very funny experience where you will get the chance to try to blow the glass (this is not a workshop, but a simple try to blow the glass).
During this experience there will be a member of our staff explaining about the glass history, the materials and the techniques of production.
After this experience they can visit the rest of the glass collection with the most beautiful items: the perfect place to purchase your authentic Murano Glass!
The glass blown by the travelers has no possibility to be taken away with them. That's because after it's been shaped and worked, the glass has to be cooled down slowly to be tempered and it takes about 24/48 hours.
The time of the activity includes the time of the transportation
