Things to do in Venice, Veneto: The Best Classes & Workshops
With its gondolas, canals, amazing restaurants, and unforgettable romantic ambiance, Venice is definitely a city for one's bucket list. Waterfront palazzos, palaces, and churches make drifting down the Grand Canal feel like cruising through a painting. To really experience Venice you must go to the opera or to a classical music performance, nibble fresh pasta and pastries, and linger in the exhibit halls of an art gallery. Label lovers will drool over the high-end shopping in Piazza San Marco.

3. Mistero Buffo - Authentic Venetian Masks
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 12 reviews
Mistero Buffo is one of the last surviving artisan workshops in Venice, where Leonardo Faggian, maestro mascheraio, creates masks using traditional techniques and procedures that date back to the 14th century. Each mask is entirely handcrafted from start to finish, from the sculpted clay model, the negative mold, the papier-mâché raw mask, to its intricate decoration with high quality pigments, gold leaf, fabric, Murano glass beads, and its final protective and antiquating touch. Each mask is a unique one-off piece of artistic craftsmanship, a result of Leonardo’s seasoned aesthetic and technical skills and creative expressiveness, and can be worn or used as decoration. Mistero Buffo’s masks can be bought on site in our workshops, or ordered via mail or phone, and shipped abroad. We also make personalized masks on request. For orders, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly.

We took a private mask-making workshop with Margherita and Leonardo in August 2019 with our kids (a teen and a tween). We have traveled all over the world with our kids (28 countries) and this was one of the best experiences we have ever had anywhere. The family is among the oldest mask-makers in Venice. The workshop took place in their studio and included history as well as personal instruction on mask-making for over two hours. They are lovely people and this workshop takes place in their studio. We learned so much and would actually do this again in a heartbeat. Amazing. Just book it!

We recently took a mother-daughter trip to Venice, Italy. Our daughters were all between the ages of 14-16. Looking to break up the museum experience, we decided to have our daughters do the ABC's course at Ca' Macana. This experience was the highlight of the trip. Our teacher was Florita (sp?) and she was so incredibly patient with our girls. I know this is somewhat of an expensive activity but it was worth every cent. Although the course generally takes about an hour, we were there for nearly two hours. We never felt rushed and Florita pulled out all the stops for our girls. The finished product was amazing and each of our daughters said that it was their favorite activity of our trip! I highly recommend Ca' Macana. They can make an artist out of anyone!! :)
