Stopped by a small shop "Ai Dogi" that made its' own glass figures. Not fancy, but gave a demo of making a horse and a millefiore glass. Interesting. Didn't need to know too much more as the demo said it all! Cost was 1Euro and it went towards anything we bought in the store.

Great demo but it was only for 5-7 minutes - should be extended to 15 minutes.

Really enjoyable insight into glass blowing although would have been better if we had more time actually watching the glass blowing and not as much time trying to get us to buy from the shop. Our guide was very informative and did make it interesting so I would recommend it

C’est dommage d’avoir payé juste pour aller dans une galerie dans laquelle on peut se rendre seul. Même si ...

C’est dommage d’avoir payé juste pour aller dans une galerie dans laquelle on peut se rendre seul. Même si le speech d’explication était intéressant, ça ne vaut pas vraiment le prix qu’on a payé.
