Have you ever heard of Dale Chihuly? He is an American glass blower par excellence, has a SCHOOL for glass blowing called the Pilchuk School in Portland OR, and has done a televised special on his time in Murano working on a collab with the Italian glass blowers…..the art of glass blowing is very difficult but it is NOT dead worldwide. Maybe in Murano it has become challenging, but one must be very special to blow glass there!
Have you watched the show Blown Away? If not, you should. It's a glass blowing competition show, similar to the British Bake-Off, for glass blowers. Loved your video! When large Chihuly chandeliers and towers are taken apart and sent for instillation somewhere else, it isn't sent with instructions of how the pieces go together. I'm guessing the large works you saw are similar. I think that's wild, but it's part of the art experience!
I am a collector of Italian art glass, meaning not the normal tourist stuff. I collect Fish Block Aquariums, and the new stuff that I have seen in other videos is poor quality. My collecting period is 1940s and Mid Century where fish are encased in glass. Barbini and Cenedese made what I collect. Are these factories still around, and do they make quality art objects such as animals in high degree of detail? When I go, I will be searching these locations out if available.
I was surprised to see the gentleman in the video wearing a baseball cap backwards. That is supposed to be a dead giveaway that you are an American. And quite frankly, it isn't a good look. But I loved your video.
I'm sure there are multiple ways that we stand out as Americans. 😂 He turns his baseball style cap around for light reasons when he's being recorded. If he wears it facing forward, it creates too much of a shadow on his face (which isn't a good look either 😉). We chose the lesser of two evils! Glad you otherwise enjoyed the video!
No pandemic and you are recording this video wearing a mask? No one else there is wearing one, so why are you? Makes this video unwatchable. I would have loved to watch this, but will have to pass.

Not a dying art. Just perfection
I am going here too! So excited! I like your suggestions to go a couple blocks out of main tourist stuff!
Your trip is sounding amazing! We absolutely loved Murano.

That is in Washington not Portland. It’s about an hour north of Seattle.
South of Seattle in Tacoma. You can see the school's work in both cities and visit the school.

Oh, I will look up that show - thanks!! The whole glass tour was so much better than we expected it to be!
Thanks so much for this fantastic video Baci Baci Nadia
Thank YOU!
New friend here from Las Vegas. Looking forward to more of your content!
Thanks so much!! ❤️

Certainly not a dying art but still cool to see of course.
Wow, is this a tourist city, it doesn't feel very big but it's beautiful. Why are there so many beautiful cities in Europe!
There are *so* many beautiful cities in Europe! What we love is that they all have their own special feel. ❤️
Amazing! Did you have to book the tour in advance? Or could you book one on site?
If you're staying on Murano, you could chance just stopping by, but to be safe, I would recommend calling ahead to book a tour - it's worth it!
People sre glass blowing in the US too ....its increasing here. Very cool!
We did a class in MN, actually! It was very hard. 😂 😂
When you mentioned a funeral, my first thought was where do they bury people? Now I’ll have to investigate.
Now that you mention it, that's such a good question! 😱😱
Looked it up, there is a cemetery on one of the islands. After 12 years the graves are reopened and the bones are distributed elsewhere.
Yes, I found the same thing! Really interesting. Thank you for raising the question. 😊😊
There is also a cemetery on Murano itself
Beautiful sharing 👌 dear new friend 🙏 stay connected with us 🙏

where to buy Murano jewelry?
In Murano. 😉
Yes its a tourist trap font go there 😅😂

This video was filmed in summer of 2021, very soon after European countries started reopening, and we followed local mask regulations of the time.
@@TalesFromOurPocket I didn't see anyone else wearing them in the factory.
@@MickSupper they asked us, as tour-goers to wear them so we did. 🤷♀️
Why would you care?? If anyone wants to wear a mask even if there was no pandemic, what does it matter??
@@michellehighland8376 lol Typical statist answer.
