Live a unique experience and create your own Carnival mask!

You will enjoy the magic of handmade creation and the charm of cutting and shaping the paper, following the ancient stone molds. An expert craftsman will guide you and will help you to turn simple pieces of paper into a mask.

You will use fabric, colors, Swarovski crystals, gold leaf, feathers to create your unique and precious mask. At the end of the workshop, you will bring your creation home with you, like a souvenir of an unforgettable experience.

We had a brilliant time learning about Carnevale from someone who had been born mere minutes from the Venetian atelier. Giulia was kind and patient with us during our session and my daughter said it was the highlight of her trip to Venice!

Had an absolute blast at this workshop! Our host, I don't know how to spell her name, but she was Greek, was incredible! She was so helpful with both design choices and sharing mask history. We were able to make pretty good masks and had such a great time doing it! Would really recommend doing this!

a nice workshop, good guidance, tailor-made advice, very pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended

A unique experience you can have while in Venice. Igor was great, guided us through it all but let us enjoy at our own pace. It was not just a workshop but a friendly chat as well, which made for an even better memory.

It was great fun! Igor was terrific and with the help of his assistant (forgot her name) we made three masks to take home to our grandkids. Please pass along our appreciation. Ron and Yael Duhl

Un super moment passé avec Igor, très à l'écoute et super sympa. Une chouette activité à faire en famille, en couple ou entre amis!
