So fun!! Alvis was great to work with!! He was super helpful for those like me that are art challenged. He was able to help me create a beautiful mask to take home to the US. Definitely recommend!
We had a good time, the instructor was very helpful and made sure our masks looked good in the end. Free admission to the prison museum was a bonus.
Excellent position. Lovely tutor. Lovely experience just about the right amount of time. Able to walk around skme of the prison museum while waiting for masks to dry. Really enjoyed it.
Have an idea of how you might want to decorate your mask. Colors, design. Also can visit the museum.
Finally a tour different from the others! To be booked! Curiosities, small tributes, glimpses never seen before, original experiences and above all a passionate guide who enchants you with words and helps you to enter the real Venetian world with all your senses! Her name is Alessandra, if you also find her as a guide you will be lucky!!
