This was a cool... - This was a cool experience that I am glad we did during our time in Venice. It was cool to participate in making a glass pendant that was fairly simple but still involved several steps where we got to actually hold the glass and work with the flame and other tools. The we got to watch a demonstration of the instructor making something much more complicated which was cool.

Loved this experience,... - Loved this experience, such a unique opportunity to do in Venice. Massimiliano was really interesting to get to know, so passionate about his craft, plus he was so patient with us novices, makes you feel really comfortable. Loved giving this a try, full of respect for how skilled this is! It was great at the end to watch Massimiliano create a unique piece of art which we happily snapped up for an extremely reasonable price and now we have as a truly unique glass souvenir. Highly recommended!

This was a great class.... - This was a great class. It was small and intimate and our host was funny and focused on keeping us safe and making sure we didn't do anything wrong. At the end you get a masters demonstration of a much more complicated artwork that is amazing to see take shape in front of your eyes. You will get to make a pendant and you will also get a chance for a discount at other works in the shop. (we bought a couple of horses). Noting that murano glass is often counterfeit or mass produced in Venice, its nice to know what you buy with the host is his own making and it makes it a nice piece to have in your office or home.

A Highlight of my time in Venice - Massimiliano was such a pleasure to visit with! He explained every step of the process, and made sure that the piece that we walked away with was something that would be structurally secure, but also something beautiful that we created. I loved that this was a small private lesson, and not a large group. The pendant that we made we were able to walk away with at the end of the lesson in case anyone is worried about slow cooling periods. After we did our project Massimiliano let us pick which kind of project we wanted to see him make. It was so fascinating to watch how effortless he makes it look! This was a highlight of my trip to Venice!
