Just over a year ago, in April, I was married in Venice. We travelled around Europe for two months but one of the most wonderful moments in all my journey was the few hours I spent over two days making a mask at Sogno Veneziano Atelier. My wife bought this for me as a present, knowing my love for masks and ancient crafts, and it one of the best and most thoughtful presents as ever I have received. The mask I made is the one I'm wearing in the picture attached. Not only was the two day short course enjoyable and enriching, sending me away with the basis of a whole new skill, the staff were joyous people whom it was lovely to meet. I remained with Ektor and Igor (sorry if the spelling is wrong) and the two wonderful women also working there that day (whose names escape me now, a year later, also very sorry) for hours after my allotted time a they helped me finish touches on my mask, helped me practice my vestigial Venetian language skills, and regaled me with the philosophy and history of Venice. Igor spoke with me at length about his appreciation for true tourists who wanted to experience the life blood of his city and how he never wanted to treat tourists as a 'cash machine,' as some other tourist experiences may wish to do. This is one of the few genuine mask shops left in Venice that use no pre-made parts or plastics or shortcuts. My only regret is that it has taken me so long to get around to writing this review. I'll also add that this has been a hard year for Venice, with floods, plague, and the damage of cruise ships. Please, if you have time now or in the future, support genuine Venetian businesses such as this one. You will feel like you have really touched something close to the heart of one of the most beautiful cities on Earth.

Actividad imprescindible para cualquier interesado en las máscaras venecianas y su elaboración. La experiencia ha sido positiva y me quedo para el recuerdo con el resultado de la misma, una máscara hecha con mis manos. Gracias a Igor por su paciencia y buen hacer.

He Hecho mucho cursos, pero de este he salido maravillada y volvería hacerlo mil veces. Igor y su mujer encantadores, súper profesionales y artesanos de toda la vida. Nos ha encantado a mi marido y a mí. Puntuación del 1 al 10, un 20.

Plus de 2 heures d’atelier pour un authentique masque vénitien. Voir la photo qui en témoigne! On a appris à utiliser les feuilles d’or ou d’argent, les plumes, les couleurs avec toutes formes de masques. Igor est très disponible. Une belle expérience.

Wir waren heute im Workshop und durften unsere eigenen Masken entwerfen und herstellen - eine wirklich wunderbare Erfahrung! Zugegeben, anfangs war ich etwas skeptisch - aber die beiden Betreiber (ich kenne leider ihre Namen nicht) waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Anscheinend gibt es nur noch eine paar wenige „echte“ Maskenhersteller in Venedig - diese Werkstatt gehört dazu und liefert in die ganze Welt. Richtige, authentische Profis! Meiner Freundin und mir hat es wirklich viel Spaß gemacht - und überraschenderweise waren wir auch mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden. Voller Stolz fahren wir nun mit „unseren“ Masken nach Hause - ein tolles Andenken :)

Nous avons offert à notre petite fille Flavie de créer et décorer le masque qu' elle garderait en souvenir de son escapade vénitienne entre collége et lycée. Accueil trés chaleureux du maître des lieux et trés professionnel pour les explications et l'assistance technique tout au long de la matinée au terme de laquelle Flavie nous a fait la surprise de sortir de son cours en portant le masque qu'elle venait de réaliser. Une adresse incontournable pour qui veut créer et décorer son masque et proche de Santi Giovanni e Paolo et la scuola grande di San Marco.

"Se ami il tuo lavoro, non dovrai lavorare neppure un giorno in vita tua", citazione perfetta per Giulia e Igor, e basta varcare la soglia del loro atelier per rendersi conto che ogni giorno che aprono non alzano una serranda ma rinnovano il loro sogno: amore, passione, orgoglio, il risultato è nelle loro creazioni, tutte rigorosamente artigianali, uniche e ovviamente splendide, siano esse vestiti, maschere o eventi.. e il comune denominatore è la coccola del cliente, che viene accolto come in famiglia. Abbiamo partecipato ad un workshop per la creazione e colorazione di una maschera in cartapesta, esperienza davvero unica e coinvolgente, da approcciare secondo noi con la curiosità e l'entusiasmo di un bimbo ma con la consapevolezza di un adulto, per goderne appieno, rispettando secoli di tradizione artigianale veneziana, lasciate perdere se non amate sporcarvi le mani o se vi realizzate solo digitalmente, in questi casi non è il workshop a essere poco interessante ma voi fuori luogo!! La maschera in foto è il risultato finale, la portiamo a casa con molto orgoglio, e visto che c'eravamo non potevamo non acquistarne una di loro produzione ovviamente...grazie davvero a Giulia, Igor ed Hector per l'esperienza che ci avete concesso, speriamo di rivederci in futuro in una nuova visita nella Venezia magica, questa volta magari partecipando ad uno dei vostri galà in maschera, ci avete fatto venire l'acquolina in bocca!!!
