Paint your own Venice Carnival paper-mâché mask with an artisan guide, learn the masked tradition, and take your creation home in 1 hour.

“My husband and I had such a fun, creative, and memorable experience at the Venetian mask workshop, an absolute highlight of our honeymoon in Venice. Getting the chance to paint our own masks made for a truly special souvenir and a wonderful way to connect with Venetian tradition in a hands-on way. Nicolo was warm, welcoming, and clearly a master of his craft. We began by choosing from a variety of traditional mask forms, and Nicolo offered helpful pencil guidelines to assist with color blocking and capturing an authentic look. We then spent a relaxed hour painting, all while Nicolo shared insights into the history and styles of Venetian masks.…”

“My partner and I booked this class and couldn’t have had a better experience. As English speakers with very basic cooking skills, Serena, Valeria and Diego made us feel completely at ease from start to finish. We were fully involved in making the ravioli, tagliatelle and tiramisu, while also learning about the history behind the dishes. They made the class incredibly fun and we honestly couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Afterwards we got to sit down and enjoy the food we’d made accompanied by some lovely wine. They were genuinely kind and welcoming people and I would highly recommend anyone considering this class to book it you won’t regret it”

“Amazing glass blowing demo. Explained very well by the staff. The process from blob of glass to be transformed into a vase or intricately moulded into an animal was a truly amazing thing to watch. The workshop after the demo was fun to do and very nice to be able to take something home you have made. The factory where you can buy some of the masterpieces the glass masters have produced was for me the best part of the tour. To see and appreciate the works of art was breathtaking. I shall return one day to purchase one for my home. Staff were informative and so friendly. Highly recommend…”

The tour company did not tell her until the last minute which was through no fault of her own. Everything was awesome. She had wine for us, appetizers. I think the tiramisu was my favorite. It was private, just the four of us and I think that made it even more special. Thank you again! :)”
