What you can expect

  • Enter the world of glassmaking and discover the magic of molten glass up close. In this hands-on experience, guided by two glass artists, you will see a short presentation of our work and a live demonstration of the basic techniques.
    You will then make your own decorated glass bead, working directly with the blowtorch under our constant guidance. An accessible, engaging and fun experience, designed for those who want to try glassmaking and take home a unique item made with their own hands.
    We will be waiting for you in our studio in Murano, where we produce mainly jewellery and small sculptures and where our contemporary artworks are located.
    The extensive experience of Andrea Penzo, a glass artist for over 30 years, born into the art and a theorist, is complemented by the communication and interpersonal skills of Cristina Fiore, an artist and teacher.
    A casual and creative place to be inspired.
