One of Venice’s oldest mask-makers, this shop offers paint-your-own-mask classes in English. The one-hour course gives a history of how Venetian masks are made — an 800-year-old tradition — and why they were popular. Guests select a mask from 43 paper-mache varieties, and are then shown one of seven techniques to decorate their own mask, which they take home. The cost is 47 Euros per person, but the more people in the class, the lower the price.
