When meeting different artisans, you can have the chance to shape your own piece after learning about the heritage of the trade on the Italian Peninsula and the particular history of the studio you are visiting. Crafters continue to produce pots, jugs, and earthenware vessels in the style of their regional heritage, recreating the classic shapes and colors with traditional techniques, while meeting contemporary aesthetics. Pottery and ceramics have a rich history that dates back over two millennia, to the Etruscans in Central and Northern Italy and the Phoenician and Greek settlers in the south and Sicily. Where to Visit: Murano (Venice) Back to Top Embrace the floating city and its timeless wonders with our Venice travel guide. You and your instructor can produce a small souvenir in the glass arts, such as a necklace, bracelet, or delicate mosaic complete with rainbow hues as you discover the right Venice vacation and tour for you. Your studio visit can also offer the chance for a hands-on workshop. Showrooms across the island of Murano provide displays of artists' fascinating work, while the working studios allow visitors to see the stunning techniques of the artisan glass blowers in action. Some of the most influential brands of glass are still produced in the historic factories on Murano, such as Venini, Barovier and Toso, Pauly, and Seguso. Murano glass blowers continue the traditions of artistic masters who brought fortune to the Venetian Lagoon and elevated their families' importance to the status of near-nobility. Visitors flock to the Venetian Lagoon to visit the famed island that became a glass-production center after the Doge ordered all glassblowers off Venice's main island due to fears of fires from the kilns. Murano glass is one of Italy’s most famous products, with a history that dates back nearly a millennium.
