Play with Glass: a child friendly glass demonstration experience

Salvadore Studio gives children of all ages, accompanied by parents, a very special opportunity to discover the mysterious and somehow magic world of glass, through a child friendly glass demonstration experience. For this unique event, the Salvadore family will open the doors of their atelier to invite the next generation to enjoy their glass. Little participants will be shown the various phases of the creative process. The philosophy of Davide Salvadore is clear: “I encourage my audience to have a real encounter with each piece. I want them to touch, caress it and understand the shapes and movements”.

Davide Salvadore

Glass sculpting

The artisan who plays with fireFrom one of the most important families (the Trippa) employed in glass art since the 17th century, Davide Salvadore was at a tender age when he started learning this millennia-old craft, a craft that is far from simple and requires deep knowledge. Davide was privileged to have his beloved grandfather as his teacher, a man with a strong personality who left a very deep mark on his grandson's life and education. Today, working alongside his own two sons, Davide takes a different approach: he gives advice only on request: because working with your family is anything but simple.
