Venice is actually a very crowded (as well as beautiful) place and this provided a peaceful and happy break from the chaos. It was nice to spend time with a genuine Venetian artisan in a creative activity. Our masks turned out pretty well too! We were two adults and a 9 year old child. It would have been good to get a bit more direction and advice on painting our masks, as it was pretty much just choosing a mask and painting it, and would have been good to hear more about the history and the tradition of masks, but all of us enjoyed this experience anyway. Recommended.
