What To Expect
You will put on one of my aprons and choose your favorite unpainted mask. Then I will explain and teach you the traditional techniques I use in my work, from painting to gold leaf application, with which you will express your creativity, creating a unique and personal work of art.
I will guide you through each step of the decoration process. I will be by your side at all times helping you and advising you on the best way to realize what you imagined.
