Classic Papier-Mâché Mask Making (1 mask) & Decorating Class - 2.5 hrs
Opt for a classic experience with our Venetian papier-mâché mask-making class, followed by a decorating session. The course begins with a brief history of Venetian masks, setting the stage for your own creation. You'll craft your mask using a plaster mould and traditional techniques, then choose your decoration style — either stick with traditional methods or personalize your mask with glitter and other embellishments. Now, your personal Venetian mask is ready! This hands-on class is perfect for participants aged 11 and up, and concludes with a special gift: a copy of the "Masks in Venice" book, detailing the history and craft of Venetian masks.
