Friendly and interesting - Nice guys, no pressure to buy, kids loved it. Nice show room. We were the only ones there on a Saturday when Coronavirus was getting active, and they gave us lots of attention.

Amazing masters - We watched our master craftsman create some glasses, and when his demonstration was about over he just stuck in his tube in the molton glass , pulled out a blob. mashed it around a couple of seconds, uses his tongs and starts pulling abit and viola in 3-4 minutes a horse........ then he just throws it back in the molton glass like its no big deal....wow.

♥️♥️♥️♥️ - LOVED IT! The kids really enjoyed watching the guy sculpt the vase, the horse and the fish.
I was also blown away by it all.
No pressure to buy from the shop, I took my time trying to choose one pair of earrings, I ended up buying two.
Highly recommend if you are in Venice to go over to Murano and check this place out. You won’t be disappointed.

Interesting - This is the place where you are shown how a glass is processed and is made into masterclass artifacts. The adjoining showroom has a huge collection of artifacts at various prizes.

Great demonstration of glass blowing and the manufacture of various glass items - When we visited Murano, only two factories were doing demonstrations due to the hot weather. We happily paid EUR 3 each for a fantastic demonstration of glass blowing at this factory. They made a vase and a horse and it was truly amazing how they achieve such intricate detail. They explained the process in a way we could all understand and catered for English and Italian speakers. I won't spoil the grand finale but it was great fun. We were obviously encouraged to leave via the shop but there was no pressure to buy.

Interesting but pricey! - I came here as part of a day tour. Basically, we were rushed into a steaming hot workplace, obviously hot from the several glass furnace in the room and told to sit on some uncomfortable step like seats. Next a man worked on some glass over the fire while another slid from English to Italian to French which was super confusing. The whole thing was to demonstrate how the glass items were made. It was pretty fascinating but it was too hot in the room and the demonstration was too speedy. After that, we were then rushed into the store to basically get us to buy souvenirs. I noticed several of the items were pricier than the items sold in Venice. Overall, it’s nice factory to visit.

Not true to the reviews - The demonstration is sub par. There are 2 people at the demonstration: the glass master and his narrator.
Well the narrator barely spoke. You can count the number of sentences with your 2 hands, if you get what I mean.
Also, the the glass master only uses plain glass for the demonstration. I was under the impression that they would demonstrate the 'Murano' style of making. If not, what's the point of going to a murano glass making demonstration if you gonna show the same technique of glass making which is employed in the rest of the world?
All in all, definitely not worth the 3 euros. Even though it is not much, I would rather spend it on gelato than this.
