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's Included

An apron, a blank papier-mache mask and all you need to decorate it.
