      Something fun and unique to do!
      Kimberly_C, Mar 2024
      We had a great time! Class lasts exactly an hour - perfect amount of time to paint. Not enough time for an added extras though (embellishments, etc) - do the 2 hour class for that.

      thank you very much !!
      So much fun
      Jacqueline_M, Mar 2024
      It didn’t matter that we weren’t great artists as they gave us ideas and showed us examples. We all really enjoyed our time there and were all really proud of our masks. We even came out with a recommendation for dinner which was fabulous.

      An evening well spent...masks, mayhem and a good time all around!
      Krystal_S, Jan 2024
      Oh my gosh, this hands down is one of the best activities I've done ( I travel ALOT). We had so much fun with Giacomo (and Enrico when he popped in). As we were the only two it was a private session which was apt for my mum's birthday. We laughed, I sang, drew badly, made beautiful masks and then signed the walls. I cannot recommend this workshop enough - do it!!!

      Loved it!
      Mercedes_G, Jan 2024
      One of the best experiences we had in Venice. My 8 and 10 year old kids loved it and even my husband was into painting his mask. The instructor was really patient and kind. He helped my son find inspiration for his designs. We felt very special! Grazie!

      Such a fun morning. I would definitely recommend this as you can’t beat being creative! A family run business with a lovely personnel touch.

      Very relaxing experience
      William_C, Oct 2023
      We loved this experience. It was just so relaxing to sit down for a couple of hours and work on your mask while having a casual chat with Igor. The workshop is very cosy and unassuming. I highly recommend it!

      A must do class!
      Kristina_P, Sep 2023
      The owners of shop were so funny and accommodating I can't recommend this class enough. It was a perfect break from the hustle and bustle of our trip. It was perfect for us because we all enjoy crafting and learning the history of the masks was a lesson that I never knew I wanted to learn about! The walk to the shop was just as charming as the shop itself, this class is a just as much of a must as a gondola ride!

      thank you very much
      You have to try this authentic experience in Venice
      David_P, Aug 2023
      This was an amazing experience with Igor. He was super patient, was able to chat with us in French, English and Italian and spoke all languages very well. He gave us tips on how to make our masks really authentic and despite us taking more time than allotted, made us feel at ease and did not rush us. This is a fantastic experience and our 4 kids (3 are teens) loved the experience and said it was a top highlight of our 3 week Italy trip. thanks Igor for making this a fantastic memory!
      A great experience that my daughter throughly enjoyed!
      Kara_S, Jul 2023
      My daughter and I were fortunate enough to be the only 2 in the class so we had the lesson to ourselves. There were a great range to masks to choose from and the instructor assisted in drawing some designs on the mask. We chose the 2 hour class which gave us time to decorate with trim, feathers and crystals. We were shown some great techniques with these. We even discussed our favourite Tiramisu recipes. My daughter had a great time and just loves the mask she got to take home! Would definitely recommend, a great experience and memory for those visiting Venice. 😊

      Great mask making class!
      Stephanie_T, Jun 2023
      We really enjoyed our time with our instructor. She was very pleasant to work with and allowed us to express ourselves in our own ways. She also gave us lots of information about Venice while we painted. Fun way to create a meaningful Venice souvenir!

      Great Experience
      Shannon_P, Apr 2023
      What a wonderful workshop! My 9 yr old daughter saw people decorating masks in a shop as we were walking around Venice and she wanted to do it. Thanks to Viator I found this workshop. We booked it last minute and the shop owner was very nice. One hour was plenty of time to decorate the mask. The staff was very helpful. Would definitely recommend for young children.

      Amazing. Experience.
      Cecelia_D, Jan 2023
      Best part of our Venice weekend! All three kids loved making Venetian masks and ended up wearing them around Venice. We will come back with friends and family. You could do this as a ladies trip, family trip, date night, or just because… The hosts were amazing, talking with us and offering advice on how to masks come alive. Best tour ever!

      Really a must do for families first time Venice
      Eric_C, Nov 2022
      I would go back. Host and hostess friendly especially with mixed crowd of adults and young children. Plenty of supplies, helpful to explain how to and keep on timing to finish. Many choices of different masks and I would go back again with family.

      Great family fun!
      Jennifer_W, Oct 2022
      Booked this experience after reading a great review by another mom. I booked the 2 hour which was a little more than we needed, but an hour would not have been enough. My kids (ages 9-16) enjoyed choosing and decorating their own mask. My oldest even said "This way more fun than I thought it would be!" which is a high compliment from a teenager. My husband and I had fun too. Jacob was a fun guide who told us about the history of the different masks. He was funny and personable and a great host! Highly recommend this for families who want to do something fun together.
