Murano: Upcycling Glass comes alive.
About 40 works created by 15 master glassmakers from the island of Murano with only recycled glass donated by Consorzio Promovetro Murano and a single goal: to raise public awareness on the issues of glass recycling, the more conscious use of raw materials and sustainability in a completely new way.
The exhibition promoted by the Consorzio Promovetro Murano and curated by Matteo Silverio, Murano: Upcycling Glass is part of Venice Glass Week. All the works are born from a challenge given to the master glassmakers of the island, who used to working with a completely different glass, which has combined, for the first time, the tradition of glass techniques with the secondary material with surprising and original results.
Murano: Upcycling Glass is in the Brandolini room of the Murano Glass Museum until January 6, 2024, and for those who cannot physically participate, a virtual tour is available:
