What to expect
Gino Mazzuccato
Guests will find a private water taxi at their hotel to go to the island of Murano, and discover the art and the history of the Glass production. Once travelers reach the Glass factory, they will meet a member of our staff that will take care of them. The activity will start by watching the Glass Master working. Travelers will see how he produces glass art pieces and then they will blow the glass along with the master. It is a first step into this world, a very funny experience where you will get the chance to try to blow the glass (this is not a workshop, but a simple try to blow the glass). During this experience there will be a member of our staff explaining about the glass history, the materials and the techniques of production. After this experience they can visit the rest of the glass collection with the most beautiful items: the perfect place to purchase your authentic Murano Glass! The glass blown by the travelers has no possibility to be taken away with them. That's because after it's been shaped and worked, the glass has to be cooled down slowly to be tempered and it takes about 24/48 hours.
Gino Mazzuccato in Venice is a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts and tourists alike. Witness the mesmerizing craft of glass blowing, a centuries-old tradition that Venice is famous for. This glass studio offers a unique opportunity to watch skilled artisans create stunning glass pieces right before your eyes, making it an unforgettable experience.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
