FORNACE MIAN

Based in Murano, Fornace Mian is a historic furnace specialized in the creation of stunning glass decorative objects.
Artistic glass, both mouth-blown and hand-made, requires different work teams composed by a master and other three or four people, all very skilled in the different phases of glass-working.

The master blows and/or shapes the glass piece: thanks to his sensitivity and artistic ability, he always succeeds in obtaining the desired shape and size. Master glassmakers are not born, they are made: all you need is some aptitude, hard work, a fair amount of pride and the powers of observation to beneﬁt from the skills of other glass masters.
