The art of paper-mâché was profoundly innovated by the masters of the Viareggio Carnival. In 1925, in this Tuscan city, the technique of paper-mâché was perfected, allowing the construction of the large floats that parade every year during the Carnival. During the workshop, Master Craftsman Marzia Etna will show some techniques for working with and decorating paper-mâché. Clay models, chalk molds, newspaper and glue, made from water and flour, are the ingredients for creating not only masks but also decorations and household objects.
