"The Abate Zanetti School of Glass has been home to masters of Murano glassblowing for 150 years, and today it provides an immersive experience into the island’s famed glass artistry. Located at the Glass Museum, a half-day program is offered here that includes the historical backstory and glassblowing demonstrations. More serious artists can sign up for Giancarlo Signoretto’s five-day primer in the furnace room that covers how to gather glass from the kiln and how to use blowing pipes, tweezers, and molds to fashion soft glass into functional pieces of art, from traditional Venetian goblets to modern vases."

Absolutely amazing welcome and demonstration of glass-working techniques by the maestro Giancarlo Signoretto and his three staff.
If you go to Venice, and want to visit Murano, come here.
Glass demonstrations on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 14:00 and 16:00. Best €5 I ever spent!! (May 2014)
