Craftsmanship, experience, culture, and a deep passion for the authentic Venetian art
Mater Domini Mask is a prestigious artisan workshop that embodies the essence of Venetian tradition in the production of papier-mâché masks. Founded in 1996 by the creativity and passion of the Franceschini sisters, the workshop stands out for its excellence in craftsmanship and attention to detail, transforming every mask into a unique work of art.
The masks by Mater Domini Mask are crafted following the ancient techniques of Venetian masters, passed down through generations. Each piece is modeled and decorated entirely by hand, using high-quality materials and drawing inspiration from the historical iconography of the Venice Carnival, the Commedia dell’Arte theater, and modern artistic reinterpretations. The workshop offers more than just sales: it provides an immersive experience where visitors can discover the creative process, customize their own masks, and even participate in dedicated workshops.
