The artist or the craft lady not sure what to call her is super friendly and she doesn't mind trying every thing and taking pictures. She sits their and makes masks in front of you. The place is amazing i wanted to cry not to afford anything there, but still a pleasure to be there and to look at her amazing work. The prices are expensive but absolutely worth every euro. She uses real crystals and the pieces are exotic not like any other shop.

It was pouring rain and Sergio let me watch him paint a wall mask and was kind enough to let me hang out. I purchased a set of card masks and he shipped them to me just as he said he would.

He hand makes all of the pieces in the shop and you will find him sitting there making new pieces when you visit. I found a necklace that I liked but I really wanted it in blue and he didn't have that color readily available so he offered to make me a necklace on the spot. It took about 10 minutes and we were able to make a video of him making the necklace so it is a very special piece. His prices are super reasonable and everything is authentic Murano and handmade (unlike many of the shops which are now carrying glass for China). He is also super friendly and gave us great advice about visiting Murano and the surrounding islands. I highly recommend you pay this shop a visit if you are in Venice.

I…read moreencountered the Studio of Marina de Grandis one night as we were randomly wandering around Venice. I told Erin, Jim, and Gayle that I would catch up after deciding that I wanted to go inside and explore further. I ended up buying a small leather and metal necklace as a gift and wishing that I would have pulled the trigger on a neat little pochette that was calling my name in her window. When I returned to the US, I contacted her about that item and a cool camera bag that she makes for esteemed local photographer Marco Secchi. These are times where I wish Paypal or another electronic payment service were more universally available. I ended up going the Iban wire transfer route, which costs a "bit" extra. Yet, the bags were expertly crafted (at her "laboratory" on Giudecca Island), delivered quickly, and easily represents one of the most unique memories of what Gayle and I consider to be a very special Italian vacation.

I am way overdue and leaving this review. We discovered this fantastic costume shop one summer…read morewhile wandering around in Venice. It's unassuming exterior does not do justice to the beautiful costumes inside. Although we were not in the market for buying a costume, we were very happy to discover that they created exquisite masquerade masks. After several days of looking at hordes and hordes and hordes of mass produced, Chinese - made masks in all the souvenir shops, it was a relief to finally discover true artisans! Flavia was a very hospitable shopkeeper. She went out of her way to demonstrate all the different kinds of costumes that they provided, showed us pictures of amazing balls that they helped host, fantastical costumes she had created... We didn't just purchase wonderful masks; we had a cultural experience! Thank you Flávia for providing us such a unique experience!!

I was expecting things in the shop to be overpriced as it is located so near the stop. But I was wrong. A crescent moon and stars ring caught my attention. I bought it for €7.50 which was a good price. Apart from glasswares, they also sell postcards, magnets, keyrings and etc. The lady who served me was very friendly and helpful though she did not speak English. I really like little arts/crafts shops. I will return to the shop in next trip. Someday I will find my Star.
