Plan Your Visit to the Mask Decoration Workshop
The workshop takes place in the heart of Venice, just steps from St. Mark's Square. Arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled session and bring your booking confirmation. Wear comfortable clothing as art supplies may stain, and note that children must be accompanied by an adult.
Your decorated mask will need time to dry in the studio after completion, so you can explore nearby attractions and return to collect your finished artwork later the same day. Consider combining your workshop with a visit to Doge's Palace tours or exploring the historic St. Mark's Basilica whilst your mask dries.
All materials including paints, brushes and decorative supplies are included in your ticket price. The experience cannot be cancelled or rescheduled, so please arrive punctually as no refunds are available for late arrivals or missed sessions.
