Birthday trip - To create your own mask and also explore the building was amazing. The tour guide was very friendly and very creative with the masks. There was peaceful music playing and I had a great time making my own mask

Just a Sales Pitch - A nice way to spend a couple of hours. The craftsman was extremely talented and produced a beautiful piece of glassware. We then spent time in a small workshop making a mosaic or piece of jewellery, relaxing time, but a little pointless. Remaining time was spent walking through showroom. Don’t get me wrong, it was interesting, but not for me.
