Hand Fan Painting Workshop

I grew up in southern Spain, where hand fans are part of everyday life. We don't just use them to keep cool in summer; we also gift them at weddings, birthdays, hen parties, and Christmas, and they often become keepsakes passed down through families. In this workshop, you'll design and paint your own Spanish hand fan using acrylic paint pens, making the experience as accessible as possible. You can come with a clear idea, completely freestyle, or (if you're anything like me!) arrive with no clue where to start. I'll have plenty of stencils, inspiration, and guidance to help you feel confident, so there's absolutely no pressure to be "good at art".Choose your fan:Classic Fabric Fan (£46) - Made with plastic ribs and white fabric, complete with a matching protective cover. The white finish is the perfect blank canvas for your design. These are incredibly popular in Spain for weddings, birthday parties, and celebrations. If you're planning a special event, this is a wonderful way to start creating personalised gifts over time.Traditional Wooden Fan (£52) - A beautiful smaller wooden fan, perfect for everyday use. It makes that iconic Spanish clack when you open it and feels incredibly traditional.Handmade Artisan Fan from Spain (£69) - Made in my hometown in Spain using wood and fabric, these fans are absolutely stunning. They're handcrafted by local artisans, which is reflected in the price. If you're looking to create a truly meaningful gift or keepsake, this is the perfect choice. They can feel a little stiff when brand new, but they naturally loosen with use and become even more beautiful over time.Want to book for a group? We also offer private workshops for birthdays, hen parties, work socials, and more. Just send us a message before booking so we can check availability.
