A truly gifted artist with a wonderful history to share - The master artist was truly talented in how he quickly initiated the masks and explained a good mix of the history of mask maki g in his family and the history of his studio. He was very good with a group that included kids and adults.

Three rain soaked girls - Nicolo was a saint, patiently walking us through the mask-making process while sharing historical tidbits about Venetian masks, and once the paint was dry, he worked his magic, with pro finishing touches that made our creations look less like kindergartener art projects.

Great way to spend your time and have a great souvenir in Venice - This was a very exciting experience for me. I understand that there are only 10 families and Venice that provide instruction on how to paint mask and I had one of the best. He was very friendly. Even though I was the only one in the shop, he always made sure that I was well taken care of.

Unique - This was a really fun experience, and a nice way to get to bring a truly unique souvenir home. Time flew by, so a simpler design would be better to ensure it gets done.

Mask Making in Venice - Great relaxing activity in busy Venice. Shop owner Nic greeted us to his space where we were given our choice of mask styles and paint colors. While we painted he talked about the history of Carnevale and masks. He added finishing embellishments and within the hour the masks were dry and we were on our way. I definitely recommend this event
