Stefano Morasso Studio Murano Glass Fine Art

About

Inside the ancient convent Ss Cosma e Damiano in the Island of Giudecca, Venezia, Italia there is the workshop of this amazing Murano glass master. Stefano Morasso was born in Murano in the Venice lagoon in 1962 and worked as an apprentice with Effetre glass factory in Murano from 1978/1979, before opening his own business in partnership with his father Giacomo in 1980. This led him to explore the world of making glass through lampworking and brought out his innate talent for bringing together different tones and working ancient techniques into modern and unique forms. He met his wife Nicoletta in 1992 and together they took up work in a new direction, which included overseas travel which took them out of Italy a good 10 years. After returning to Venice in 2013 Stefano’s permanent work base is now his studio on the Giudecca in Venice, where he can be visited.
