What you can expect

Make your way to our mask-making workshop in the centre of the city and meet the professional mask decorator who will help you craft your personalised mask.

Decorate your mask following the wise tips of Giorgio, the Venetian masker. You will bring at home your personal mask decorated in according to your creativity!

Known as mascherari, Venetian mask-makers have enjoyed a special status in society for a very long time, having their own laws and guild.

Learn about the use of masks in Venice in the past centuries as you paint your mask and decorate it with gold leaf, feathers, and gems, using the techniques of Venetian craftsmen.

After this activity you will have an amazing souvenir to take home with you, your marvellous mask!

Venetians have donned elaborate Baroque costumes and decorative masks to celebrate Carnival, for centuries. The Carnival of Venice, which ends with the Christian celebration of Lent, is one the most famous Italian carnival events and it is renowned worldwide for its traditional elaborate masks. Live this fantastic, age-old tradition by crafting your own Venetian Carnival mask.
