★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've looked in a lot of shops that sell handmade masks in Venice. There are a few really good ones, but this one definitely takes the lead!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In 2019, we loved our experience at Ca'Macana in their private mask making studio. We had a family of three with two adults and one 10yo who loves art and creation. Our class was in a private room with two instructors. The instructors were patient with our mask making learning curve. Each of us got to select two mask shapes to paint and design. If I remember correctly, they had approximately 10 painting styles to select from. We each selected our two mask shapes and the painting style of our choice. Their education about the venetian masks was in depth and very educational! One main instructor assisted each of us of how to create a style that suits our liking. We felt comfortable with every task, some of us "me" had taken more time with my perfectionism, where my husband and child were several steps ahead :). The lead instructor was very patient with us 'me' finalizing our two mask per person project. We would totally do this again, but only when the pandemic is over and the temperature is cooler. We were there in July 2019, and it was hot, hot, hot! However, the studio did have light a/c cooling, compared with other shops that had none during the 100+ temps most of the day and into the evening.
Overall, what a memorable and spectacular experience!
Our masks are totally on full display in our home studio!
Thank you Ca' Macana for an unforgettable experience!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a fun shop to browse through! They make everything they sell. You are not buying a Venetian mask made in China. We were staying in the Cannaregio, and had never really been in the Dorsoduro, despite 4 vistis to the city. Our walk through the Dorsoduro pleasant. This shop is not to be missed, and its near another not to be missed site, Ca'Rezzonico. You can also visit their factory which is nearby, and walk through it. Great prices too.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely worth a visit, for kids and adults. Create and/or decorate your own masks under the supervision of one of their instructors. The workshop looks like heaven for anyone who likes doing arts and crafts! For decorating a mask, you should calculate more or less one hour. You get to choose your mask and the way you want to decorate it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My friend and I had a wonderful experience making masks at Ca’Macana. David is patient, knowledgeable about the history of masks in Venice, and his family has been making masks for a long time. He offered great suggestions, working with us step-by-step and listening to our ideas. I also like that we didn’t need to come back the next day to complete our projects. Highly recommended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Oh the choices we have!
After doing some research to find an authentic Venetian mask shop, I came across CA'Macana.
A good variety of the many styles could be found here.
I advise to do some historical research on the various styles and meanings to select a perfect match mask.
