In-depth Guided Tour in a Real Murano Glass Factory

Do you want to learn about the inner workings of a real Murano workshop? Are you tired of the endless tourist traps around Venice and Murano? Look no more! With this experience, I want to show you what a real glass factory looks and feels like, understand the production process of glass from sand to a bespoke piece, and watch real Murano Glass Masters while they blow glass (explanation in English). What you will experience: First, in the Batch Room the place where it all starts: Here, sand and other chemicals are mixed to perfection to obtain glass that will melt once charged into a 1400°C furnace. Next, in the Hotshop where the magic happens: You will learn about the glass melting process, from chemical mix to molten glass, how the furnaces work, and an overview of all the tools we use. Last, in the Coldshop where the glass starts to shine! You will see all the machines used to carve, drill, cut, flatten, and polish glass.

Punto d’incontro

Remember meeting point is in MURANO ISLAND, not Venice. Please note the meeting point is in our gallery, not the glassblowing area. We are not responsible for late arrivals; due to other reservations, the experience will start sharp on time.
