Painted Fan Gallery

We visited a Fan Printing family company. The fans are hand-made, then painted on, and finished by all the members in this family. It was pretty cool, and almost everyone bought something.




They won several contests - one year they won first place, and the following year they won second.

How they made the fan:

I did not take a picture of the initial thing, but basically there was a bowl of mashed up paper - sort of like papier-mache - and she spread it evenly across the brown paper.

They lay the paper strips down as markers for where the bamboo strips will go in. That way, the fan can fold up.


She spreads glue on the back side...

...and places it on the wooden cardboard for it to air.


The lady does her selling spiel...
