Brought my 11yr old to paint masks with a master mask painter, Georgio. He was great, so accommodating and helpful. His shop was quite an amazing place. He shared that he fufilled an order for Toronto, Canada (our hometown) of 600 masks for an event. It was a nice connection we shared. Thank you for a lovely experience.
