Would like to have gotten more beads from activity. Our time seemed to be cut a little short with a late start.
Highly recommend this class! Two friends have booked this class! I loved learning a bit about making glass beads. The whole process was enjoyable. I can’t wait to make my beads into wearable art!
This workshop was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip. I’ve always been interested in glassmaking, so the chance to learn from an experienced craftsman was a dream come true. Our guide was patient, knowledgable, and fun. He let us make a number of beads, and also let us keep some of the demo ones he made. We came back to the shop the next day to pick them up! Absolutely delighted by the results!! Skip the tourist trap shops and take home an authentic, handmade souvenir from Venice. Do NOT miss this!
I had a wonderful time creating Murano glass beads—truly a unique and authentic experience. The artisans were skilled and explained each step clearly, making it easy to follow. Getting hands-on and making my own bead was the highlight. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Venice!
Our family of 4 had the most fun making glass beads. We truly weren’t sure what to expect. Luckily, we were in very good hands. Our instructor made the process look so easy and patiently guided us through his craft. He showed us different techniques and designs. We left the studio with a handful of gorgeous glittering beads ams a wonderful memory. Highly recommend!
