Learning about the history of the venetian masks while making my own was truly something I'll never forget. Nicolo was a wonderful teacher, and to witness his craft was legendary!

We loved painting our own masks. The guidance was great and we could see how much work goes into all these detailed and creative crafts. We had lots of fun and loved the quiet and relaxing atmosphere of the shop/studio. Thank you so much!

Great experience getting a hands-on lesson by a by such a talented artisan. My wife and I really enjoyed the workshop and additional insight into carnival. Leaving Venice with a custom mask was a great souvenir of our travels. Highly recommend!
