Master Glassmaker Murano

Gabriele Urban begins his journey to become master glassmaker in 1966.

The interest and continuous research in lglass processing was the main feature that make him a unique master.

His goal has always been to become a master glassmakersor in your own furnace.

Today with forty years of experience in blown glass, it has become teacher.

He works inside his furnace from the 1995: "the Fornasotta".

The artist continually tries to find an echo of sensitivity made of light, reflections and colors in every object he creates.

In his furnace they are executed different Murano glassmaking techniques: from the murrin processingand, to the tesserae (Pezzato), from the simple barrel, to very particular compositions with glass powders.
