What's included in Create Your Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class

(Subject to Option Inclusions)

First let me say that this experience is not for everyone! glassblowing is an extremely physical craft, so if you are afraid of extreme heat or intense physical activity then i suggest you to do a simple guided tour... but if you are ready for an intense experience that will live in your memories and heart forever than you are in the right place! Step 1 - Practical exercises with no glass: hands on exercises to develop glassblowing’s basic movements and hand eye coordination. Step 2 - practical exercises with hot glass: hands on exercises with hot glass to develop a good feeling with the moving 1000 C molten glass Step 3 - blow your own Murano glass artifact: you will have time to either make a drinking cup/bowl or a small custom glass vase The piece will have to anneal overnight so you can pick it up the next day. We can also ship your piece to you anywhere in the world but it is not included in the cost of the experience.
