Venice Carnival Mask Workshop

Enjoy this workshop and learn all about the masks of the Carnival of Venice while you create or personalise your own mask. The workshop lasts approximately 1 hour where a master craftsman will explain each step you have to do.

Specifically, you will be able to choose 2 types of workshops, the first one will consist of creating a mask completely from scratch. In this case, you will learn about the techniques and materials used in these masks. In addition, each session will only involve 2 people, you and your companion. This way, the teacher can be more attentive to all your steps and explain what you need in a more personalised way.

Once the mask has been created, you will leave it in the workshop to dry for a few hours, but you can then return to pick it up and take it home. In the mask production workshop, the mask is not decorated. Therefore, if you want to give free rein to your creativity and play with colours, you can choose the mask decoration workshop.

In this other type of workshop, the mask will already be created, so your task will be to paint it, decorate it and give it the look that best suits you and your tastes. In this second activity you will take the mask directly after finishing it.

Even so, in both activities you will learn everything about one of the most famous carnivals in the world, thanks to the live commentary of the master craftsman. In this way, you will not only practice and make masks, but you will also learn about its history.
