How metal masks are hand-made by Venetian mask-makers

The process of making metal masks requires very long and detailed work. It all begins with the choice of the best materials like papier-mâché to shape perfectly the face base, this is also an ideal material because it is light, breathable and skin-friendly.

The second step consists of applying different shapes of light and precious metals on the mask’s surface, according to the artisan’s creativity. The result is a delicate and intricate decoration, that is also the reason why every Venetian metal mask can be considered one of a kind!

This long tradition is still alive in Venezia Maschere production, as you can appreciate in some of our best metal masks!
