  • In this workshop brought directly to your doorstep, Victoria invites participants to discover the craft of fan making.

    The workshop initiates with an introduction to the skilled artisan. Attendees are then presented with a succinct overview of the fan's historical significance, providing context and appreciation for the art form they are about to partake in.

    Under Victoria's guidance, participants learn the intricate processes and fundamental techniques in creating their own handheld fan.

    By the end of the workshop, each participant will have mastered the basic skills of fan making and leave with a distinctive fan that is not merely a symbol of cultural history but also a representation of their own creativity and newly acquired craftsmanship.
