Moonlight Glass (John Mooney)

Moonlight Glass is glassblower John Mooney's Venice studio offering private, beginner-friendly hot-glass lessons. In a one-on-one or small session you work directly at the furnace to gather and shape molten glass, making a paperweight, a stemless wine glass, or a tumbler. Because it's private instruction, the pace is tailored to you and you take home your finished pieces. It's a more intimate alternative to the bigger group studios.

The move: Book a private lesson and each blow a stemless wine glass to drink from at home.

📍 Before you go Lessons are private and by appointment, so reserve ahead; confirm exact pricing and what piece you'll make when you book.
