STAGES
We organize on demand classes and stages for the production and
decoration of papier-maché masks.
Our staff speaks Italian, English, French, Spanish and, on
request, Japanise and German.
All of our guests will be the protagonists of the production
and, even with no experience at all, will be able to complete
their own mask. You will be teached the most traditional
techniques of decoration and painting, and also a few little but
precious secrets applied by every mask master to his artistic
production.
These stages can be also held on high days. We guarantee the
widest hourly and logistic flexibility.
All of this at only 50 meters from S. Mark’s Square. |
