Discover the Secret Art of Venetian Glass: Learn from a Murano Maestro 🎨
Venice's most closely guarded treasure isn't hidden in St. Mark's Basilica – it's found in the ancient furnaces of Murano. For over 700 years, the island's glass masters have passed their art from parent to child, creating world-renowned masterpieces from fire and sand.
Step into the world of Maestro Paolo Donaggio*, whose family has been crafting glass since the 1600s. In his historic bottega (workshop), away from the tourist crowds, you'll experience the ancient art of perle a lume - traditional Venetian bead making.
Ready to learn one of Venice's most treasured arts? DM us to check availability - workshops often book 3-4 months in advance.
