bulletFan Making Workshopsbullet

The Fan Museum holds regular fan making workshops on the first Saturday afternoon of each month. These sessions are conducted by an expert tutor who will not only provide expert guidance, but also a wealth of knowledge about the history and craft of the fan.

The classes start at 2 pm and last approximately 3 hours during which the participants will make two fans, one of the traditional Chinese shape, the other of the Fontange shape, an early 20th century Chinese design.

The fans seen on this page do not represent the actual fans that will be made during the classes.
