Across East and Southeast Asia, woven fans have long been part of everyday life, offering both practical use and artistic expression. Crafted from natural bamboo, these lightweight objects showcase the ingenuity of makers who transform simple materials into intricate patterns through rhythm, patience, and skilled hands.

In this 90-minute workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of bamboo weaving and create their own decorative fan to take home. Guided step by step, you will explore traditional weaving techniques while gaining insight into the cultural significance of bamboo craftsmanship and its enduring role in Asian material culture.

Suitable for beginners, this workshop offers a relaxing and creative opportunity to slow down, work with natural materials, and experience the satisfaction of making something by hand.

All materials are provided, and no previous experience is required.
