What you can expect

  • Enter the world of glassmaking and experience the magic of molten glass up close. In this hands-on experience, led 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 torch under our constant guidance. An accessible, engaging and fun experience, designed for those who want to try their hand at glassmaking and take home a unique item made with their own hands.
    We'll be waiting for you in our studio in Murano, where we mainly make jewelry and small sculptures and where our contemporary art pieces are located.
    The extensive experience of Andrea Penzo, a glass artist for over 30 years, son of an artist and a theorist, is complemented by the communication and interpersonal skills of Cristina Fiore, an artist and teacher.
    An informal and creative place to draw inspiration from.
