Making Murano Glass Drinking Glass With Lampworking Technique In Venice, Italy

Murano Glass-making is an ancient craft tracing its roots to the Ancient Rome and Egypt. The glass masters on Murano island in Venice, Italy, come from a long line of talented glass-blowers and artisans who created many techniques that are still in use today. Lampworking is a technique used primarily for making beads, jewelry, figurines, and small ornaments, however, true masters of the Murano Glass craft have been using it for centuries to create beautiful translucent and virtually weightless drinking glasses, wine glasses and goblets, candlesticks, sculptures, and various tableware. While today the artisans no longer work under a small flickering flame from a torchlight but use a steady gas torch instead, the technique is close enough to the original lampworking technique invented centuries ago. See how the glass artisans make a drinking glass in their factory on Murano Island.
