Good fun in the mask workshop - Really enjoyable - even for the adults. Very knowledgeable staff both on the history and culture of Venetian masks and on how to make your own one look good!

Create your own piece of history - Thanks to a fabulous shopkeeper who helped, I left with a beautiful painted mask. A never forget memory with something to take home as a reminder. If you enjoy art related activities then you must treat yourself to this experience.

Family crafting in lovely shop - A creative crafting session with nice and knowledgeable staff. Good selection of masks to start from, but inquire if a specific model is wanted. The workshop is held in a separate studio from main store, but still offer hundreds of masks for inspiration.
Each staff member paints masks as well as alternate to host the workshop. Our hostess was very helpful overall with an introduction in basic techniques and offering additional tools and colors as well as advice when requested. As the eight staff members have their individual styles you may deep dive if wanted (time and crowd permitting).
Most enjoyable if not too many (up to 10), multiple groups may book the same time. However they handle large groups (20+) but the space will be limited.

Awesome! - Is one of the most amazing experiences we’ve ever done. We were able to paint masks and let them dry and while we did so the woman who ran the shop was teaching us how to add subtle accents in details. She made sure they looked good… Even the ones done by the kids. I would recommend this to any family that wants to really know what it’s like to do mask making in Venice. The best part was well. She has a lovely shop. There was no pressure to buy. Really recommend.

Overpriced - Experience was fine for what it was, but at c £50 per person was vastly overpriced. Would have been reasonable at £20 per person. Only limited selection of paper mashe masks and paints, nothing else offered.
