Why Pair It

From Admiring Palaces to Making Something

After a morning looking at stucco, frescoes and gilding at Palazzo Grimani, this workshop lets you try your own hand at Venetian decoration. You paint and gild a traditional carnival mask with an artisan, in another historic palace, Palazzo Soranzo.

The class lasts about 90 minutes, materials are included, and you take your mask home.

It works well for families and couples, and on Mondays, when Grimani is closed.

Good to know

Wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on. Check the listing for the meeting point and whether the mask is ready to carry away the same day.
