Murano Glass Working Demonstrations at the Glass - The Glass Cathedral Murano
Spectacular show of master glassmakers - The Glass Cathedral Murano
The Glass Cathedral Santa Chiara is one of the most ancient structures on the Island of Murano in Venice, built before the Doge's decree of 1291 ordered all of the glass masters to locate their furnaces here. Originally known as San Nicolo della Torre, the complex was home to group of Augustinian Monks from as early 1231. In the mid-fourteenth century it passed to a group of Benedictine nuns who were, shortly thereafter, expelled from the place due to scandalous conduct. They were replaced by the Franciscan nuns of Santa Chiara, from whom the Ex Chiesa di Santa Chiara also took its name.
The GLASS CATHEDRAL Santa Chiara presents: “LOVE IN GLASS”. The Glass Masters of the “Ex Chiesa di Santa Chiara” present a Spectacular Show dedicated to both their love of working with Murano Glass and to the creation of enduring symbols of love in Murano Glass. Here, submerged in the ambiance of our historic building and surrounded by soft music and beautiful works of Murano Glass you can observe the Masters as they create 2 original pieces.
