Wonderful experience. Wonder people running it. Highlight of my trip. The price is high for what you get but it’s totally worth it in my opinion. I don’t know what the guys name was that worked behind the desk but he is one of the most genuinely nice people you’ll ever come across. Thanks for an awesome time!
Fantastic

This studio is very busy. The scale of their ongoing projects is such that you are learning in the middle of a fast paced and dynamic glass studio, yet they manage to thoroughly educate you as best they can within the span of about 3 hours. Glassblowing takes years to learn even at a beginners level so they propose 3 feasible works and let you watch the difficult parts and do the easier ones. Our group had Benjamin who was super personable and really knowledgeable. It was encouraging, satisfying and very informative. Coolest part is the utter range of things they do with glass at Wave so you can see the versatility of this craft and art with a great and storied legacy in it’s own hometown, Murano.
A Guided tour of the factory and workshop floor followed by a practical lesson in glassblowing.

This was a 50th Birthday Present for my wife, they did not know and treated us like celebrities. Every aspect of the tour and practical experience was outstanding. We can not praise Ben, Olivia and the rest of the staff enough, everybody visiting Venice should do this.

Tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Roberto, the owner, is a fantastic teacher. The class was so much fun and I'm thrilled with how my piece turned out. Can't praise enough about this experience. Would've paid 2x what I did ... it was that good.
Super experience

I did the glassblowing experience. Ben was amazing: really helpful and attentive. My vase may be wonky, but I’m relatively sure it will work, and Ben absolutely set us all up for success. The safety briefing and practice sessions made me really confident that I wasn’t going to incinerate any clothes or (worse) body parts! I genuinely had such a great time. I thoroughly recommend this. We were working in a busy, fully functioning glass studio and it was such a privilege to be doing our very basic stuff alongside the maestro! If you’re considering doing glassblowing, do this course! I mean, why wouldn’t you do it in Murano!? I booked mine on Viator and it was absolutely painless. It’s not cheap, but it’s definitely worth saving up for. It’s excellent value for money in my view. It was advertised as 2.5 hours, but was actually closer to 3 hours. Take water!!!! It is hot!
