I'm so glad we did this. - I was skeptical about booking this with my husband, but we both completely enjoyed it. It helped get us in the right frame of mind for Carnivale! We had a little trouble finding the right place but once we did everything went smoothly.

A wonderful experience, absolutely recommended!! - The shop has a wonderful assortment of masks available and many paint colors to work with. The instructor was lovely - very nice, friendly, and helpful when I or my Mom got "stuck" either with an idea or the actual execution of our vision for our masks. She helped as well with instructing us in mixing and blending paints to achieve the best looks that we were wanting. It was a fun, creative, and educational experience that we got to share Couldn't have asked for better!!!

One of our kids favorite activities on our vacation - We had a great time painting masks during our recent time in Venice. It was one of our kids favorite activities during our trip (15, 14 and 12 yr old). You don't get to add any flare but there are lots of masks around to draw inspiration from for painting on flare.

Fun but rushed - Fun class but proprietor rushed us through saying she had another class coming. Not a lot of instruction given. The other students in the class were fun to talk to. I had to stop at one shop and then got sent to another location for the class. I was a bit late and she did not want me to stay over. Perhaps they should allocate more time per class. I was relaxing painting until she was clock watching and telling us every few minutes how much time we had left. Ugh
