Beautiful experience
Tucked away in a small glass shop, this was a beautiful experience. It's a small building, cosy, and the guide did an excellent job of explaining what was happening and why it happens - all in English. After some simulations, we were able to create two glass pendants which he put on a necklace for us, and then he gave us a demonstration of a more complex object. Really beautiful and a memory to keep!

Book it!
Highlight of our Venice trip!! Such a nice experience, the artist was very welcoming and provided us clear instructions on the process of glass making. My partner was a natural at this and I was not lol! It was a very fun, I’d highly recommend!

Best Experience in Venice
This experience was one of the best things we did in Venice. Massimiliano is an amazing artist and patiently worked with us to create a beautiful pendant to take home. We loved learning the art of glassblowing and getting a hands-on tutorial from a master. We had a fun day and were fortunate enough to have a private session. If you want to do more on your vacation than walk around taking photos, I highly recommend this class. You don't want to miss it.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, We appreciate your feedback. Thank you and we hope to see you in Venice again. Regards, Customer Care Team

This experience was amazing! It was so fun to be able to create our own piece and take it home with us the same day. The hands on experience is well worth it instead of watching someone do it from afar. We would definitely do it again!

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Create your Glass Artwork: Private Lesson with Local Artisan in Venice: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Create your Glass Artwork: Private Lesson with Local Artisan in Venice cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Create your Glass Artwork: Private Lesson with Local Artisan in Venice take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.
Is Create your Glass Artwork: Private Lesson with Local Artisan in Venice worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 342 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Create your Glass Artwork: Private Lesson with Local Artisan in Venice?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Create your Glass Artwork: Private Lesson with Local Artisan in Venice suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Create your Glass Artwork: Private Lesson with Local Artisan in Venice?
+
Around 120 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Create your Glass Artwork: Private Lesson with Local Artisan in Venice start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Venice?
+
On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine in Venice, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Venice Bacaro Food Tour: Eat and Drink like a Venetian. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Venice?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
