FAN MAKING WORKSHOPS IN 2025 ARE NOW BOOKABLE ONLINE!
The Fan Museum offers fan making workshops, bookable online, for anyone wishing to try their hand at fan construction, from beginners right the way up to experienced makers who want to meet like-minded people.
Please note: These workshops are very popular and spaces are limited. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
For small groups who would like to book a private fan making workshop, please contact the Museum Office and one of our team will be more than happy to assist.
Participants join our Fan Making Workshop Facilitator, Dawn Wylds , for a three hour session in the Museum on the first Saturday of each month. Each person attending will create two common types of fan.
Sets of fan sticks, fan making equipment and implements are included in the workshop price.
Should you arrive without paper, there are options available for purchase in the Museum Gift Shop.
A tea/coffee break will be included during each session.
Workshop group sizes are limited to 6 people to ensure that each participant will receive adequate guidance from our Facilitator.
For small groups of up to 6 people, we may be able to arrange a private fan making workshop in our Orangery space. Please be advised that any potential dates will need to be cross-referenced with our Facilitator’s availability before they can be confirmed.
Due to the cultural nature of any such bookings, no premises hire is charged. As a private fan making workshop does still constitute a booking, however, it is bound by our Terms and Conditions (see bottom of hyperlinked page).
For further information about private fan making workshops or to enquire about booking one for your small group, please contact the Museum Office .
