$15 – $20
Mardi Gras mask making with the Vero Beach Art Club-Welcome all Junior’s!
*Masks have always been an important feature of the Venetian carnival. Traditionally people were allowed to wear them between the festival of Santo Stefano (St. Stephen’s Day, December 26) and the end of the carnival season at midnight of Shrove Tuesday. As masks were also allowed on Ascension and from October 5 to Christmas, people could spend a large portion of the year in disguise.
Maskmakers (mascherari) enjoyed a special position in society, with their own laws and their own guild, with their own statute dated 10 April 1436. Mascherari belonged to the fringe of painters and were helped in their task by sign-painters who drew faces onto plaster in a range of different shapes and paying extreme.
Come join us as we decorate different types of masks. This is just a fun workshop, get the kids out of the house and socially safe. We are practicing
social distancing – we provide all materials – and an hour and a half for you to get stuff done without the kids.
