Overview

Immerse Yourself in the Art of Venetian Masks with a Unique 90-Minute Workshop!

Experience the authentic atmosphere of a traditional papier-mâché mask atelier, one of the few remaining artisan studios still active in the city. During the workshop, you’ll discover the fascinating history of Venetian masks and the master artisans who create them.

You’ll learn how to paint and decorate your own mask, using traditional techniques while expressing your personal creativity. The workshop is open to everyone and can be tailored to your interests and age.

At the end of the experience, you’ll take home a special souvenir: a unique Venetian mask, handmade entirely by you.

    What To Expect

    You will put on one of my aprons and choose your favorite unpainted mask. Then I will explain and teach you the traditional techniques I use in my work, from painting to gold leaf application, with which you will express your creativity, creating a unique and personal work of art.
    I will guide you through each step of the decoration process. I will be by your side at all times helping you and advising you on the best way to realize what you imagined.
