Fans have been used for centuries as a means of both cooling down and communication. In the 1700s, girls were taught to use fans as well as learning literature and dance. The decoration of the fan could also tell a woman's status.

In this workshop, you will make and decorate your own paper fans for the summer heat. What would you like to say with your fan? The workshop is part of KAMU´s Pride-program.
