Tucked away in a small glass shop, this was a beautiful experience. It's a small building, cosy, and the guide did an excellent job of explaining what was happening and why it happens - all in English. After some simulations, we were able to create two glass pendants which he put on a necklace for us, and then he gave us a demonstration of a more complex object. Really beautiful and a memory to keep!
Highlight of our Venice trip!! Such a nice experience, the artist was very welcoming and provided us clear instructions on the process of glass making. My partner was a natural at this and I was not lol! It was a very fun, I’d highly recommend!
This experience was one of the best things we did in Venice. Massimiliano is an amazing artist and patiently worked with us to create a beautiful pendant to take home. We loved learning the art of glassblowing and getting a hands-on tutorial from a master. We had a fun day and were fortunate enough to have a private session. If you want to do more on your vacation than walk around taking photos, I highly recommend this class. You don't want to miss it.
Dear Guest, We appreciate your feedback. Thank you and we hope to see you in Venice again. Regards, Customer Care Team
This experience was amazing! It was so fun to be able to create our own piece and take it home with us the same day. The hands on experience is well worth it instead of watching someone do it from afar. We would definitely do it again!
Wonderful experience with a true artist - watching him work was amazing. Very patient and clear instructions, we had a wonderful time!
Massimiliano's workshop was fantastic; he is very professional and engaging, guiding us through the process of creating a Murano glass object. It was very interesting to create a unique piece with our own hands to keep as a memory of Venice. Thank you, Massimiliano! :)
We did this little adventure class before we visited Murano and we had a great time. Massimiliano was informative and instructed us perfectly to help us make a piece of jewelry to take home. We also got to see first hand, his own creation and mastery of the art. This was a total highlight for my excursion filled Italian vacation!!
This was the first thing we did when we arrived in Venice, and it was the most wonderful experience ever! Massimo was an excellent teacher… Very thorough, safe and patient. We made our own pendant and then we watched him make an octopus which we got to take home with us. I highly recommend this experience as it was Taylor exactly to meet our needs. Massimo is very passionate about his work.
Today's experience with Massimiliano was truly fun and enjoyable; the instructor made us feel comfortable right away and introduced us to the fantastic art of glassworking, giving us the opportunity to create a small piece. I can only thank him; I will cherish this beautiful experience in my memories!!!!
Fantastic experience. Massimiliano is so talented and a patient teacher. We loved making our pendants and watching his demonstrations
