What are Venetian Masks Made From?
Many people ask us is What are Venetian masks made from? There is no quick answer to this as all traditional Venetian masks are still made from paper mâché and then decorated. Many masks used in theatrical productions, such as the Arlecchino mask, are still made from leather. On the other hand, in Venice you will find many masks made with modern materials, such as plastic or plaster. These masks are imported and are not made by the local artisans who still use traditional materials and techniques.
