Tours by Nexa – Venice: art glass: forms, stories and hidden treasures
Event organised by Nexa - Event & Travel Designers
During the morning tour, a visit to SUV, Salvatore and Antonella's workshop, where everything has remained unchanged since 1940 is an absolute must! Here you can breathe in the authenticity of artistic artefacts in which glass is mixed and mingled with other precious materials. The process used is lampworking, a technique which, with the help of fire, makes the glass rod "soft" and pliable. Countless nuances of colour are created by hot mixing different rods and customising each individual piece with decorations made from very fine coloured swirls and dots, fused onto the basic element, or by combining murrine, glass beads, gold or silver leaf. Salvatore and Antonella also preserve a historical archive of beads of every size and colour, so if you are looking for something on which to feast your eyes and want to see something unique, this is the right place for you!
