    Super Fun

    Fantastic experience. I took my 70 year old mom, and she was like a kid, and I really enjoyed the experience.

    An experience of a lifetime!

    How do you pick a "favorite" on your sister trip to Italy? But this experience was right up there. Anna, our teacher, was fantastic-knowledgeable and patient. We LOVED it!

    Awesome time, definitely do it!

    We had a wonderful time! Would definitely do it again, in a heartbeat. We each made a drinking glass and had them ship them home to us - cost to AZ in the US was 70 Euro.

    Highlight of our two week trip

    This was one of the best experiences of our two week Italian trip. The instructor took her time to explain the steps and then helped us each create our own beautiful vase to take home. Great memories, and a beautiful souvenir. Cannot recommended enough! So much more fun to do rather than just watch!

    Highly recommend

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a fun experience! We did the Create Your Own Glass experience at Wave Murano Glass and absolutely loved it. This was such a cool and memorable thing to do while in Venice. The team was fantastic. They took their time with us, explained everything clearly, and made sure we felt completely safe while still letting us really experience the glassblowing process ourselves. It was also fascinating just watching the factory in motion. Everyone works so seamlessly together, creating these incredible pieces of art right in front of you. You could honestly stand there and watch them work for hours. And the best part—we actually got to take home the pieces we created! Since we were continuing our travels, we had everything shipped home to Ontario for only €60, which made it incredibly easy. So much fun, very hands-on, and something completely different. I would absolutely recommend the experience, especially if you want to do more than just shop for Murano glass—you actually get to make it! ❤️

    Create Your Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.

    How much does Create Your Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class cost?

    +

    Prices start at $280 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 Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 265 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Create Your Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class?

    +

    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 Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Create Your Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class?

    +

    Around 93 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Create Your Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class 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 Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Tour of The Real Hidden Venice. 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.

    What is included in Create Your Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class?

    +

    Included: Saftey glasses; Water to rehydrate; and Sleeve to protect arm from heat of the furnace. Not included: Eventual shipping of the piece; and Clothing is not provided. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Create Your Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class?

    +

    Remember the meeting point is in MURANO ISLAND, not Venice. Please note the meeting point is in our gallery, not the glassblowing area. We are not responsible for late arrivals; due to other reservations. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Is Create Your Own Murano Glass: Beginner’s Glassblowing Class wheelchair or stroller accessible?
