Great thing to do while in Venice - take a break from the crowds and just zone out doing a bit of painting. Our host was fantastic and helped us with our designs. There were a few flights of stairs to walk up in the prison where we took the class which was difficult for one of our party who was elderly

What a fun and unique experience! We really enjoyed our time painting masks and learning about the history of masks in Venice from the master who put gorgeous finishing touches on our masks!

Giorgio was the artist/owner who taught the class. He was wonderful and took time to explain how to get started with the painting after each of us in the class of four selected our masks. He was very helpful and reassuring as we painted. Giorgio did some special decorating on our masks and they came out great. It was a very fun and unique
activity and one I highly recommend

Enjoyed the class , which I took with my granddaughter. The proctor explained the significance of the mask as well as the origins of the carnival celebration. A nice history lesson as well as a beautiful souvenir from our time in Venice.

Our children had a wonderful time selecting their masks and being taught how to paint them. When they were done, Giorgio added some finishing touches! Giorgio was a great teacher and very patient with the kids. This a unique experience to do while in Venice and we are so thankful for the opportunity.
