    Great Experience!

    It was so much fun and having a glass to bring home is so special. You get to customize your color and choose between a vase or a cup.

    Friendly expertise and a custom souvenir

    A superb experience! Heidi was super welcoming and knowledgeable. She supported our small group of three to make our own drinking glasses (or vases) in personalised colours and patterns. She explained each step of the process and helped us at every stage. Her enthusiasm on a swelteringly hot August afternoon was unparalleled. A really enjoyable workshop and one that I would not hesitate to recommend.

    Must Do Experience When Visiting Venice

    Was such an awesome experience. You actually do most of the work but you instructor is definitely guiding the whole time. And you get a wonderful keepsake to remind you of the experience

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so happy you enjoyed creating your own glass piece and that our instructor helped make the process both fun and rewarding. Knowing that you'll have a handmade keepsake to remember the experience makes us especially happy. We truly appreciate your kind words!

    Wonderful experience!

    We had a wonderful experience at the Wave Glass Factory. Everyone was polite and helpful. Our instructor, Heidi, was skillful and patient with our family during our experience. She helped us make beautiful pieces. We would highly recommend. It has been a highlight of our trip to Venice. Did not feel touristy and no pressure to make a purchase in their shop. A must do if you are looking for a ln authentic Murano experience! Thank you!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such a memorable experience with us. Heidi will be so happy to know that her patience and guidance helped you create beautiful glass pieces. It means a lot to hear that your visit was a highlight of your trip to Venice and that you appreciated the authentic, relaxed atmosphere of our workshop. Thank you for your kind recommendation—we hope to welcome you back to Murano for another glassmaking experience in the future!

    Unique and fun for our family

    What a unique and fun experience for us making our own glass pieces! Melissa was a super patient and friendly instructor who added to the fun. Our one of a kind souvenir added to the memories of the perfect day on Murano.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a unique and enjoyable experience creating your own glass pieces. Melissa will be delighted to know that her patience and friendly guidance helped make your visit even more special. There’s nothing quite like taking home a one-of-a-kind piece that you made yourself, and we’re so happy it will always remind you of your perfect day on Murano. We hope to welcome you back for another creative experience in the future!

    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 $245 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 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 246 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 86 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 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.
