Venice Murano Glass Tile Making Workshop - Murrine Mosaic, Family-Friendly (Ages 6+)

Learn the glass fusing technique
at a Murano workshop

When you arrive at the workshop, you will hear a short introduction to the history of Murano glass and the secrets of glass fusing. No previous experience is needed, as the instructor guides you step by step. The experience is conducted in Italian and English.

Create your own design with murrine and glass pieces

Choose a glass base and decorative details from fine and coarse glass grains, geometric tiles and traditional murrine. Following the instructor's technical and artistic advice, assemble your plate by placing colored glass pieces side by side or layering them. All work is done cold, without flames or molten glass.

Your piece is fired in the kiln into a sparkling glass plate

After the workshop, you leave your piece at the workshop. The plate is melted in a kiln at about 800°C and then slowly cooled to become a solid, sparkling piece. You can pick up the finished piece at the workshop, or request home delivery if you cannot come back (shipping fee extra).

※ Because the glass takes time to melt and cool, the finished piece can be picked up from the day after the workshop. Please confirm the exact pickup date with the workshop on the day.
