The first time we visited Venice, there was not enough time left to visit the glass blowing factories on Murano. We saved this for the next visit, and now more comfortable with taking the vaporetto, boarded at San Marco for the short journey.
The view looking towards the cemetery:
The view looking down what I think was the equivalent to the main street, or where several of the glass blowing factories and display shops were located:
Looking towards a workshop, this one costs us each a Euro to go in and observe a demonstration of glass blowing, and it still surprises me that some people would not pay
The oven where the glass is heated
And the finished product, the retail version of the horse that the glass blower created during the demonstration:
Then we bought some other glassware from the retail storefront, a candle holder
and a turtle.
