Glass engraving talk in Venice

On the iconic island of Murano, the art of glass engraving has been passed down for centuries. Matteo Seguso is one of Venice’s youngest artisans specialised in cold working and glass engraving techniques by hand. He opens up his doors to give a talk to visitors about his work at the lathe and the process of making glass art, from floral and landscape to figurative and abstract. In this experience, Matteo will lead his visitors into the little known yet fascinating world of traditional glass engraving and reveal how it keeps up with the times. Children can attend for free.
