Murano Glass Creations

Murano glass has been a famous product of the Venetian island of Murano for over eight hundred years. It is located off the shores of Venice, Italy. The art of making Murano glass is complex and the process used to make this beautiful glass is called lampworking.  The glass makers use tongs or pliers to hand mold the molten glass, a blowing pipe, iron rods to which they fasten the objects after blowing, glass- master's work benches, and large glass cutting clippers. Then they add the colors they decide would be best for that particular creation. Aquamarine is created through the use of copper and cobalt compounds.  Ruby red uses a gold solution as a colouring agent to make the brillant colors.
