“We loved the chance to make our own mask but it was lovely to speak to an art student and artist who lived in Venice. She was able to converse about what it’s like to actually live in Venice. We loved learning about life in Venice, about Venetian masks and the chance to visit the doges prison for free was a bonus. This was where the workshop tool place, right next to the doges palace! The workshop itself is in the prison and is a great space to create in with plenty of space, air conditioned and a wide variety of mask types to select and paints and twenty or…”

“A very fun evening painting our masks. The shop owner provided a little history on Carnival and various mask traditions/ designs. At the end, they tidy up and add a little flair to your mask so it looks a little more like a masterpiece, and less kindergarten painting (as in my case haha). Would recommend to couples and families.”

“This was a great experience. They guided you through the process on how to customize a mask, paint and then highlight it. I was nervous as I am not very artistic but it turned out great!”

“It is more like a DIY session on the mask painting, rather than a workshop with proper guide”

“excellent from start to finish, a great souvenir to take home”
