About this tour
Work alongside a Murano glass master with four decades of experience in a private studio workshop. You'll be hands-on at the furnace creating your own piece of glass, guided one-to-one by the artisan and workshop owner. This is no passive demonstration—you'll feel the heat, shape molten glass, and take home what you make. The 2.5-hour session includes Prosecco, water, and coffee.

- Learn directly from a master glassblower with 40 years' experience
- Make your own glass piece to take home
- Prosecco and refreshments included throughout
- Walk-in glass-making, not just observation

What to expect
You'll enter a working studio in Murano, warm and alive with the furnace. The master will show you the fundamentals of shaping molten glass—how to gather, blow, and manipulate it. You'll have tools in hand, learning by doing rather than watching from a chair. Expect to be standing near the heat, concentrating intently, and likely making mistakes that the craftsman will help you correct. By the end, you'll have created an actual object—perhaps a small vessel or ornament—that's yours to keep. The Prosecco arrives as you work, a nice counterpoint to the intense focus required.
Good to know
Children under 9 need special arrangement—contact ahead. Infants must stay on an adult's lap. Wear closed shoes and avoid loose clothing near the furnace. The studio is accessible by public transport. All fitness levels welcome, though you'll be on your feet and active.
