Description

When it comes to glass, Murano has a worldwide reputation, so let us take you to a private, authentic workshop . There, you and your family will learn about the glass making techniques that the glass makers of Murano have used for centuries… and make your own Murano glass object.

Meet your private, passionate glassmaker in his charming workshop and step into the fascinating world of Venetian glass. Far from the crowded tourist factories of Murano, this is an authentic and intimate encounter.

After a short introduction and safety briefing, you’ll get hands-on with a blowtorch to craft your own colorful glass trinkets, delicate beads, playful candy shapes, or even a Venetian-inspired design.

By the end, each participant will leave with a unique creation to take home the very same day: a sparkling memory of Venice, shaped by their own hands.

FAQ's

Is this a private activity?

It sure is. Your family members will be the only ones in the glass workshop, along with your private glass maker.

Are the parents staying with the children or separated?

We always promote a family-bonding moment, where parents and children enjoy an activity together as a family. So, parents and children will not be separated. However, if you choose to send your children on this activity alone, it is possible, provided that a babysitter accompanies the children regardless of the age, for insurance purposes (our guides are not responsible for the children).

Will the parents participate in the workshop?

Of course! Everyone will be creating their own works. That is the fun part!

Is it suitable for kids under 6 years old?

Younger kids can participate in this activity, but remember that our private glass maker is not a babysitter, and parents will have to keep an eye on their young ones. Getting close to a flame or fire will be strictly forbidden for young children.

Do I need to bring special material?

No! You do not need to bring anything as all the material is prepared for you.

Are we leaving the workshop with anything?

It depends on your creation! Some will be ready at the end of the workshop, others will require at least 24 hours to cool. We can have your creations delivered to your hotel, or we can arrange for them to be shipped to you (extra costs apply for shipping).

Will my teenage kids like the activity?

If they like arts & crafts, they will love this hands-on activity.
