Learn the art of painting your own Spanish hand fan in this hands-on workshop, led by a tutor who grew up in southern Spain, where hand fans are part of everyday life. They're not just used to keep cool in summer – they're gifted at weddings, birthdays, hen parties and Christmas too, often becoming treasured keepsakes passed down through families.
In this session, you'll design and paint your own Spanish hand fan using acrylic paint pens, in a workshop made to feel accessible for everyone. Whether you arrive with a clear idea, want to go completely freestyle, or have no idea where to start, you'll find plenty of stencils, inspiration and guidance on hand to help you feel confident – there's absolutely no pressure to be "good at art".
Choose your fan:
  • Classic fabric fan (£46) – made with plastic ribs and white fabric, with a matching protective cover included; the plain white finish is the perfect canvas for your design, and these fans are hugely popular in Spain for weddings, birthdays and celebrations
  • Traditional wooden fan (£52) – a beautifully compact wooden fan that's perfect for everyday use, with that iconic Spanish clack when you open it and a wonderfully traditional feel
  • Handmade artisan fan from Spain (£69) – crafted by local artisans in your tutor's hometown using wood and fabric, these are truly special pieces and ideal for a meaningful gift or keepsake; they can feel a little stiff when brand new but loosen beautifully with use over time
Whichever fan you choose, you'll leave with a beautifully painted piece that's entirely your own – a fun, hands-on keepsake to treasure, gift or add to a growing collection of personalised presents for future celebrations.
This workshop is also available as a private session for birthdays, hen parties, work socials and other celebrations – just send a message beforehand to check availability.
Please note: as all hand fans are brought over from Spain, certain styles are limited in number and can sell out.

House of Denna is a cafe in South East London owned by Denna.
A silversmith by trade, she wanted to open a cosy venue where people could come and take part in a variety of workshops while drinking a coffee and enjoying a slice of cake.
As this is a cafe, we ask you not to bring in external food and drink.
