Experiencia Vetreria Guarnieri Murano

We were here for the June 2nd long weekend: the kids loved the show (complete with photos and a little gift at the exit). I also highly recommend a stroll through the shop with so many cute things for every budget, perfect for getting gifts for yourself and others. What will always remain in my heart, however, is the kindness of Michela and Beatrice. Thank you for this experience!

Overall- great experience. We got to watch them make a glass and try glass blowing ourselves. My kids love it.

Watching the glass-blowing demonstration in Murano was one of the highlights of our trip to Venice. Seeing the artisans transform a glowing blob of molten glass into beautiful artwork right before our eyes was incredible. The craftsmanship, skill, and speed were amazing to watch. The workshop itself was authentic and welcoming, and it gave us a real appreciation for the centuries-old tradition of Murano glassmaking. We enjoyed browsing the showroom afterward and ended up purchasing a beautiful crystal necklace as a special souvenir. If you’re visiting Venice, I highly recommend taking the time to visit Murano and watch a live glass-blowing demonstration. It’s a unique experience and a wonderful way to bring home a piece of Italy.

You can't go to Venice without taking a tour of Murano and seeing the master glassmakers at work. We ploughed the island a little to see where there was such a possibility compatible with our schedules and I must say that luck brought us in front of a real Venetian artist. Seeing him at work was really interesting; the delicacy and mastery with which he created the objects left us all speechless. Very interesting and professional even the explanation made during the master was at work. At the end we bought beautiful glasses, expensive but of great quality!

Awesome experience, very attractive price for a demonstration of 30-40min and several techniques. Nice presentation and really good moment, we truely recommend it !!!

Highly recommended. Fascinating to watch, and only one other family when we went, so it felt very special. Very easy to find, only 2 mins walk from the vaporetto. Amazing value for money.

Great authentic experience and workshop demonstration. Pieces are beautiful and affordable. They ship worldwide as well.

It was a good experience, they are two gentlemen, one works the glass, the other helps him and explains the process in several languages, Italian, Spanish, English, French. Simple things, just a demonstration for tourists, if you want a more personal, more professional visit because it is a subject that interests you, know the most elaborate, more artistic process, where they make sculptures, more complicated pieces, you should look for another studio, another laboratory. Repeat is good experience for tourists, they are gentle. They've got their shop selling beautiful things.

We went up past the larger glassblowing factories near the Ferry pier in the south off the island, to find this little gem. For only 10 euro for two of us we received a personal exhibition of the supreme skills of the glassblowing Master and his apprentice for 8-10 years to see if they make the grade. They made 4 pieces in about twenty minutes and you could take photos no problem. They made a xmas bauble and showed the colouring process on a tumbler, Then they made the most amazing figurine of a horse, absolutely a mind blowing watch from the glass blowing Master. Finally they made another fancier xmas bauble, around this time another couple came in and we left gobsmacked at the ability we had just seen, so fancy, so quick. Another thing that we found to be good was there was no hard sell either for the tour or in the two fantastic gallery/shops that we went round. The items also seemed quite reasonably priced and not rows of similar little items, they certainly seemed more bespoke and unique items. So enjoyable this was that we heartily recommend here for your more authentic glassblowing displays.

Beautiful environment of people who do this work for true passion. Nicoló gave us the true love for this world and it is not something you see every day! All beautiful
