This tour will take you to Murano island by 'vaporetto' the local waterbuses. Once in Murano, we will start with a nice walk to discover this beautiful island and its history and to know how and when Murano became the island of glass. Then we will have an exclusive visit to one of the most important historical glass-factories of the island where we will admire the glass-masters at work . I love this glass atelier , is much more than a glass-factory , here you can breathe passion and art , it is really a "wow" place. The secrets and techniques of this unique and ancient art will slowly disclose while a piece of glass will be turned into a masterpiece under your eyes. A kind of wonder mixing tradition and modern innovation. After the demonstration, we will have time to visit the glass-factory exposition and showrooms where to admire their artistic production . At the end of our visit, we will catch a water-bus back to Venice!
-We will meet at Fondamente Nuove at the water-buses Pier line # 4.1/4.2 -We will then board a vaporetto to reach in few minutes Murano island where we will start browsing around. -It stands out immediately everything on this island speaks about the glass. The windows of small local shops and laboratories of the local glass-artists are full of beautiful pieces of colored glass, a joy for the eyes! -Exploring the island we will walk in front of beautiful churches, palaces, glass-sculptures and many glass-factories and learn when and why Murano became the island of glass. -We will also learn that Murano is an island where people live, about 5000 people and what means living there. -We will then reach our glass-factory where finally have a private visit with a wonderful glass-making demonstration to learn all about this particular art. -At the end you will have time to visit the exposition, to shop around or to stop for a coffee/ice-cream before catching the water-bus back to Venice.
