Zanetti's Glass Factory in Murano, Italy


I got the privilege of photographing in Zanetti's Murano Glass Factory in Venice, Italy. John Almaguer who is an amazing glassblower in North Carolina did an internship with some of the best glassblowers in Murano.  The glass sculpting was with so much detail it was simply stunning. They made it look easy. The Zanetti's are a great family and master's of art. To view their glass you can go to their website to see their gallery: http://www.zanettigallery.com . John is doing new custom art pieces you can see on his website: http://www.almaguerglass.com








             
                  







It was amazing to watch how the glass was formed with so much detailed in each step.
 The glass was so heavy they are working together to keep the glass in motion.


In the dry room making the stands and sanding off any ruff edges.
