Great way to learn about the glass making traditions in this area! - This was a gift for partner for Valentine’s Day as he is an engineer by trade and is great with making and doing things hands on. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and now have our own keepsakes to remind of our wonderful Valentine’s in Venice.

Must do in Venice - This was our favorite activity we did for our whole Italy trip. The glass making demonstration and instruction were great. It was amazing to watch him make the glass, he is a true artist and it was a pleasure to see first hand. I can not recommend this enough!!

Fantastic! - This was a great experience. It was so cool to see Massimiliano create a piece of glass art and hear a bit about the history of glass art in Venice. He was very thorough in explanations and made sure we knew what to do before working with the glass directly. We had so much fun and loved being hands on. We highly recommend!

Great Experience - This was fantastic! It's a challenging skill, and Caldarone did a wonderful presentation and then did a great job guiding me through how to make my own pendant. It was so much fun!

I would do this again - This was a 100% hands-on experience and the artist is very passionate and loves what he does. You would take this class in his private studio and get some keepsakes to take home! He is a great teacher and ensures you won't mess up.

Incredibly unique experience - We had such an awesome experience at Massimiliano’s studio. We learned a lot about glassblowing, watched him create some beautiful art (that we purchased!), and then got to try glassblowing for ourselves. We definitely recommend this experience.
