“Amore!”The words echoed through Studio Salvadore, a family-run glassblowing workshop on Murano, the Italian island near Venice known for its centuries-old glass industry.
It was 3 p.m. on a Friday in late July, and Mr. Findletar had been making drinking glasses with a small team since around 6:30 in the morning.
At the mouth of a furnace, colorful glass rods lined up on the head of a shovel were melting together.
Mr. Findletar, 49, flicked water droplets at the glass, which would become a cup, to make bubbles.
“I call this dirtying up the glass,” Mr. Findletar said.
