Located off the shore of Venice, Italy, Murano was a commercial port as far back as the 7th century.
By the 10th century it had become a well-known city of trade.
Today Murano remains a destination for tourists and art and jewellery lovers alike.
The process of making Murano glass is rather complex. Most Murano glass art is made using the lampworking technique.
The glass is made from silica which becomes liquid at high temperatures.
As the glass passes from a liquid to a solid state, there is an interval when the glass is soft before it hardens completely.
This is when the glass-master can shape the material.
