MU student learning in the Murano studio

  Two weeks blowing glass at La Scuola Del Vetro Abate Zanetti Murano (the Murano Glass School, founded in 1862) in late May 2004.

"Murano is a small group of islands lying on the edge of the Adriatic Sea in the lagoon of Venice, about 3,000 meters north of the larger group of islands comprising the city of Venice."  From Murano Magic, a page with details about Murano past and present.

   
"This picture  was taken at sunrise out the window of where we stayed on Murano"; the glass studio.
