Murano Glass Jewelry

Synopsis: Venice has raised the art of masquerade and and narcissism to new heights. This city blessed by the gods has jealously guarded the secret of making glass and mirrors since the Middle Ages.

Want to learn how to create glass sculptures in under two minutes?

It’s easy. You’ll just need to apprentice for 10 years or so on the island of Murano off the coast of Venice.   Here you’ll see a skilled artisan at work.

What makes Murano Glass special?  Perhaps there is a special kind of sand.. furnaces found only in Venice…

No.  What makes Murano Glass special is the talent of the artisans that make it.  In this video we watch a master and his apprentice construct an exquisite glass sculpture.  to become a master glass blower in Murano takes an apprenticeship of 10 years..  about 3 years longer than it takes to be called “Doctor”.

I enjoy watching talented people do what they do best, whether that is Tiger Woods making an approach shot to a green or watching a talented artist at their craft.  I hope you enjoy the video.
