Glass Blowing Experience with Glass Master
Description
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.

We paid a lot of money for the activity, a 15-minute activity. As they clearly knew that they had scammed us, they offered to blow glass, make a glass, and send it by mail (all to save face). Three months later, we are still without receiving the glasses, nor a message, nor a refund. We truly believed that they wanted to solve the problem they caused, but they only covered it up.
What a fantastic experience. We laughed we learned and we had a fantastic time. Giovanni was terrific. He even gave us glasses of Prosecco and treated our kids wonderful
Amazing experience! My adult children were thrilled. Master artist made two pieces while another employee explained what he was doing. We then each had the opportunity to blow molten glass. Very entertaining and educational. Loved it!!!
I had never seen glass blowing and it was very nice. Seeing the maestro at work live and up close was wonderful. The gallery then a show. All the staff very nice, I recommend it!
Grazie davvero! Le tue parole sono la soddisfazione più grande per noi
Beautiful historic glassworks absolutely worth visiting. We were followed excellently and recommend this activity to anyone who wants to have fun and see beautiful things
I went with my two kids, the explanation was very poor, with lack of love to the field and very marketing oriented. There was no spirit to the tour and even my kids which are usually very enthusiastic about art demonstrations were waiting to get out of there. I regret not going to see the demonstration in the glass museum, I'm guessing this would have been a more authentic experience, as strange as it may seem.
We had an amazing time taking the glassmaking class and watching the master at work — the skill and technique were truly impressive! Marco was a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and very funny. We can’t wait to enjoy our new glasses at home, preferably with a Marco-rita, (Margarita) as he would say. Thank you for such a memorable and fun experience!
During a trip to Venice we booked the experience in the glassworks of Gino Mazzuccato with the demonstration of the master and blowing. The demonstration was really interesting, exciting to see how real art objects are created and surprising the ease with which the master creates. One of the guys on staff also described step by step what the teacher was doing translating into English, French and Spanish. Blowing is one more experience that I would recommend to make the visit even more unique and to “test yourself”. A nice ride in the show room is a must to choose a souvenir to take home
This is awful. Complete scam, do not waste your money. High pressured and intimidating sales people, no glass blowing at all, and they wouldn’t take us home - the tour says it will drop you back in Venice - they left us stranded to make our own way back. Literally horrific experience.
I don't understand why you lie like this! You have been picked up at the confirmed time and you let us know about the pick up place at the last minute! Stating that if it's not the way I booked "I want a full refund as you have not adhered to the terms of the agreement"(your words), YOU ALREADY STARTED IN A BAD WAY FROM BEFORE THE EXPERIENCE AND I DON'T KNOW WHY! You have been in my factory, watched the demo, blew the glass exactly like described! When we said "we call a taxi for you to go back to Venice" you said you wanted to go back on your own because you wanted to see more of Murano and that you were ok as the factory is 2 minutes away from the bus stop! "You stranded to make your way back"... ridiculous, you can see the bus stop from the window of the glass factory! This is crazy! People like you just wake up one day and decide to ruin people that work hard! It is a shame!
To be repeated! My kids couldn't be happier! We brought home a beautiful work of art, as a souvenir of a special experience
