About this experience

Participate in a mask decoration workshop at the historic Prison’s Palace in Venice, where Giacomo Casanova was imprisoned. This class is located near Piazza San Marco and lasts for a duration that will allow for in-depth instruction. It is suitable for anyone interested in art and craft, regardless of skill level, but may not suit those who prefer a passive experience. During the workshop, you will receive all necessary materials to decorate a traditional Venetian Carnival mask. An expert instructor will guide you through ancient techniques of mask decoration, enabling you to express your creativity. This hands-on experience emphasizes the traditions of Venetian mask-making and allows you to create a unique mask to take home as a souvenir. Note that the workshop may have specific age restrictions or group size limits, so check before booking.
