Murano: Glassblowing Workshop for Beginners｜Italy

Learn the art of glassblowing in a small group or private workshop on the island of Murano. Watch a live demonstration and receive hands-on instruction from a glass master. Make your own glass artifact to take home as a souvenir.

Take part in one of Italy’s most time-honored art forms during this workshop that is suitable for beginners. Have fun as you find out how to shape molten glass and create your own original art object to take back home as a souvenir.

Start with practical exercises to develop glassblowing’s basic movements and hand-eye coordination. Then, move on to hands-on exercises with hot glass to develop a good feel for moving 1000°C molten glass. Stay protected by using a special sleeve to protect your arm from the heat of the furnace.

Finally, blow your own Murano glass artifact. Choose to make a drinking cup or a small glass vase. Let your glass piece anneal overnight and pick it up the next day, or arrange to have it shipped directly to your home for an additional fee.

IMPORTANT: Class is allowed ONLY starting from the age of 12.
