Diepgaande rondleiding in een echte Murano-glasfabriek
Beschrijving
Wil je meer leren over de werking van een echte Murano-werkplaats? Ben je de eindeloze toeristische trekpleisters rond Venetië en Murano beu? Kijk niet meer! Met deze ervaring wil ik je laten zien hoe een echte glasfabriek eruit ziet en aanvoelt, het productieproces van glas begrijpen, van zand tot een op maat gemaakt stuk, en echte Murano Glass Masters zien terwijl ze glas blazen (uitleg in het Engels). Wat je zult ervaren: Ten eerste, in de Batch Room, de plek waar het allemaal begint: hier worden zand en andere chemicaliën tot in de perfectie gemengd om glas te verkrijgen dat smelt zodra het in een oven van 1400°C wordt geladen. Vervolgens in de Hotshop waar de magie gebeurt: je leert over het glassmeltproces, van chemische mix tot gesmolten glas, hoe de ovens werken en een overzicht van alle gereedschappen die we gebruiken. Als laatste in de Coldshop waar het glas begint te glanzen! Je zult alle machines zien die worden gebruikt om glas te snijden, boren, snijden, plat te maken en te polijsten.

We spent a very interesting and entertaining hour.
Vielen Dank für Ihre nette Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie eine interessante und unterhaltsame Stunde bei uns verbracht haben. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder begrüßen zu dürfen!
10/10! Don’t be lured by the guy hustling his business off the water bus, head straight here for the real deal!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the authentic experience with us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Real Factory Tour - not just a quick "behind-the-scenes" visit. Marco guided us thru all the processes of making glass from raw materials, various colour pigments & then Hot-forming, followed by Cold-machining. He showed us how they are making "gold leaf" flowers for a designer brand - with a team of 3 working together to combine various glass elements to form the flower petals & vase to hold the flowers. A memorable experience like no other "factory tour'
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the full factory tour and appreciated the depth of the experience. It’s wonderful to hear that Marco’s guidance and the craftsmanship of our artisans made your visit so memorable. We truly hope to welcome you back again!
Visiting Wave Murano Glass was amazing. The live demonstration was the highlight for me — watching the actual glass masters create a glass flower for a chandelier right in front of us was fascinating and genuinely impressive. The furnaces blasting heat made it all feel so real. It’s not a staged show; it’s real work happening in real time. Very cool. Our guide, Marco, had great energy and explained every step clearly. He made the whole process easy to understand — from how the glass is created, heated, shaped, annealed, and then polished into a finished piece, from beginning to end. His enthusiasm added a lot. The full factory tour lasted about an hour, and it was detailed without ever feeling rushed. Seeing the workers produce the same pieces that end up in the showroom gives you a real appreciation for the craftsmanship behind Murano glass. The pieces in the Wave studio itself are also beautiful and unique — it was interesting to see the room at the back with the “special” created pieces. Overall, the experience was well worth the cost and the time. If you want to see authentic Murano glassmaking up close, this is the place to go.
Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the full factory tour and appreciated the authenticity of the experience. Marco will be thrilled to know his passion and explanations made such a positive impact. It means a lot to us that you left with a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship behind Murano glass—we hope to welcome you again!
Free and open visit of this workshop. Great experience and lovely discovery! Thank you very much 🥰
Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil avis ! Nous sommes ravis que la visite libre vous ait plu et que vous ayez passé un beau moment parmi nous. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau !
We had a great tour here! The lady explained the whole proces of making the glasses, vases and art objects. It was very interesting and we were led all through the factory. It was great to see all glassblowers working hard to make beautiful objects from close by. The owner, a young man 35 years old, was working there as well. Highly recommended to do the tour and not just go in to see the proces from behind a line.
Thank you very much for your feedback, the opinion of our clients is so valuable!
Wonderful tour, very insightful into the world of glass blowing. Answered all questions, and learned a lot. Highly recommend this tour!
Glad you enjoyed it so much, Kelly!
Fabulous tour! Marco was an excellent guide and took great care of our group. Small tour, just eight people. We got to go behind the scenes and see glass making from start to finish. We were very lucky to be there when the team was creating a stunning sink basin and watched the entire process. Totally worth the fee for the guided tour. When we finished this tour we headed to the glass museum and in a special exhibit there was a creation from Wave. It was very cool to see their artwork in “real life “. Thank you Marco for making our time on Murano extra special.
Thank you Julia for your incredible review! Big hug from Marco and the team! :-)
Tip: admission is free to attend the first demonstrations!! It's good enough for those who don't want to pay a fortune to take a guided tour (you have to book well in advance). The welcome is very nice, we already discover some beautiful realizations and we see up close the artists making the creations. We can stay as long as we want.
Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires !
Very interesting to see when we are explained
Merci!
