Balloon

Description

Murano glass is born on the island of Murano, near Venice, a place with a long tradition of glass craftsmanship and techniques that have been passed on from one generation to the next. It is made with a process where sand gets transformed into glass with the help of air and fire. This is known as blown glass. To achieve its unique colours and shapes it has to be treated with delicacy and care. That is exactly what Guido Giovando did when creating this glass figure holding a balloon. The Italian glass artisan is based in Las Playitas in Fuerteventura since 2007.
