Murano Glass artisans work in their workshops and factories on Murano Island just a short boat ride from the touristy hustle and bustle of Venice much the same way they have for hundreds of years. Working under a small flame they craft beautiful artworks from glass canes, making them into exquisite Murano Glass animals, birds, fruits, and small jewelry pieces.
In this video you can see up close how the master glass-maker creates a beautiful Murano Glass Bird complete with little red beak, inquisitive eyes, and elegant wings from a shapeless blob of glass mixture. This bird will then be joined with others, meticulously created one-by-one, and put onto a tree branch, creating a fine Murano Glass sculpture symbolizing beauty, peace, and love.
