6 tours · €34–€245 per person · ★ 4.8
A Murano glass workshop or a mask making class in Venice puts the craft in your own hands, and the 6 experiences here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €34 per person for a lagoon day that pairs a glass factory demonstration with the lace island of Burano, to €245 per person for a private Murano glass blowing tour with a water taxi and your own guide. Between them sit a Venetian Carnival mask making workshop where you paint a mask and take it home, and a private glass lesson with a local artisan, and you keep the piece.
A quick way to choose: make or watch, because the islands day shows glass blowing as a demonstration with a shop at the end, while the hands-on classes are short sessions capped at a handful of people. Hotel pickup is not included, the mask class is postponed on days of exceptional high tide, and food and drinks on the private Murano tour are your own.
