What To Expect
Discover the Art of Lampwork Glass with Artist Alessandro Boscolo Join me, Alessandro Boscolo, a Murano glass artist, for an exclusive experience in the heart of the island that symbolizes artistic glass. My family pioneered the torchblowing technique (lampworking), and I bring with me over 20 years of experience, gained in the workshop and refined through personal research. In this 90-minute interactive workshop, you'll have the rare opportunity to observe my personal technique up close and try your hand at manipulating incandescent glass. I'll guide you step by step through handling this living material, showing you how a thread of glass is transformed into an object through gesture, precision, and creativity. You'll blow, shape, and play with glass in a safe and stimulating environment, where every step of the process will be explained and shared. It's not just a demonstration: it's an immersive and participatory experience that will allow you to truly connect with the soul of Murano glass. A unique opportunity to experience Murano firsthand and take home not just an object, but an authentic and unforgettable memory.

5.00I gave the experience of glass processing to my husband and he was not very happy. Dario was a very good teacher, he explained each step precisely and without ever putting in trouble helped in the realization of a small object. Seeing how much work is behind it, how much preparation and precision in movements makes it clearer how valuable each individual creation is. I stayed there to watch and just for this it was worth it, I think that trying with your own hands is a unique experience!

Murano’s experience

5.00Our instructor carefully instructed us on each safety rule when creating a glass object. He was by our side constantly and by the end of our appointment, we had created several colorful beads and objects. It was exhausting because of the concentration but magical that we created a piece of art.
Fantastic way of learning more about Murano glass

5.00Such a fantastic experience. I had an amazing time! It was incredibly fun and unique to create my own Murano glass pieces. I made a couple of beautiful beads and bonbons!
What a fun experience!

5.00This was such a wonderful and eye-opening experience! I'm NOT an artistic person, but I appreciate what artists can do. So, not knowing what to expect, I showed up for a one-on-one glassblowing explanation and then got to try my hand at it. He was so informational, using excellent English while explaining the science behind glassblowing. I felt safe, and had so much fun! The beads and candy are sitting on my dresser now. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, of any ability, who is interested in this fascinating art.
Hands-on Murano Glassmaking

5.00This excellent hands-on glassmaking instruction was a highlight of my Venice trip. Dario was a patient teacher for this one-on-one introduction on a professional workbench where you'll walk away with a few small pieces you create yourself. Learn something new. Do it!

5.00Bought this experience for my 21 year old son and a friend who are doing a semester abroad, and are visiting Venice this weekend. They wanted a hands on, immersive experience and they absolutely loved it. He said they made beads and a piece that resembled a candy wrapper. Alessandro then created a dragon in only 15 minutes. The skill, speed and artistry blew their minds. They loved the intimacy of the workshop and having a memento to bring home that they made. Highly recommend!!
So much fun!

5.00Did the class with Dario, it was a blast and honestly so much fun that I want to go back and do it again. He was able to explain everything clearly and was super helpful and focused on safety. Seriously this was 100% worth it!
