The return of The Floating Furnace, in collaboration with Select, is among the highlights of the 2023 festival!

Among the most important highlights of #TheArtofFire will be the hotly anticipated return of The Floating Furnace: a barge decked out with an active glass furnace, which will host a series of live demonstrations by a number of different Murano glass masters and students. As such, it will transport the art of glassblowing out of Murano’s furnaces and into the heart of Venice. Promoted and organised by Consorzio Promovetro Murano, the initiative is realised thanks to the support of Select – the aperitif which was born in Venice in 1920, ideal for making an authentic Venetian spritz – which has always aimed to enhance local life and culture.
