Importance of handmade products

Handmade fans are the essence of Spanish fans because of their unique artistic value and personalized design. Each handmade fan is unique and embodies the hard work and wisdom of the craftsmen. Handmade products not only retain the essence of traditional craftsmanship, but also give fans higher artistic value and cultural significance.
Despite the many changes brought about by industrialization, Chinese handmade fans are still preserved and passed down. And combined with modern popular floral elements, novel styles are introduced to combine Spanish fans with Chinese style.

Traditional handmade craftsmanship of Spanish fans

Material selection

  • Fan surface:It is the supporting structure of the fan. We use high-quality wood, which has unique texture and artistic value.
  • Fan edge:Usually silk cloth, linen, etc. are used. These materials have strong toughness, ensuring that the fan has a crisp sound and opens and closes more smoothly.
  • Fan head:Connected with copper rivets, it closes more naturally and is not easy to scratch your hands.

Fan rib production

Material selection and processing

The craftsman first selects high-quality wood and cuts it into long and thin sheets according to the design requirements of the fan. Then, through fine grinding, the surface of the fan rib is smooth, thin, burr-free, and comfortable to the touch.

Anti-corrosion process

  • Wood treatment

    When making fan ribs, the wood is usually processed by steaming, drying, etc. to remove internal protein and sugar to prevent mildew and insect infestation. In addition, a layer of protective paint is applied to the surface of the wood to increase its corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

  • Lacquer application

    Some Spanish fans use environmentally friendly paint technology, such as applying natural harmless paint (lacquer) or synthetic paint on the fan ribs or fan surfaces. This process not only improves the texture and gloss of the fan, but also effectively prevents the material from being eroded by environmental factors and skin-friendly effects.

  • Coating technology

    The use of modern anti-corrosion coatings on the fan ribs and fan surfaces further improves the durability and corrosion resistance of the fan.

Fan painting

Fan painting

The Spanish fan painting process is complex and requires multiple processes. The following are the main steps:

 Characteristics of our Spanish fan painting

Pigment preparation

The painting pigments are usually watercolor, oil paint or acrylic paint. These pigments are bright and long-lasting.

Sketching

Gently outline the pattern on the fan to determine the composition and details. We often use flowers as the main.

Bright colors

Spanish fan painting is known for its bright colors. Common colors include red, yellow, blue, etc.

Drying

After the painting is completed, place the fan in a ventilated place to dry naturally. Wait until it is completely dry and then apply a layer of varnish on the fan to increase the gloss and protective effect.

Detailed description

We first mix the pigments, and then use a brush to carefully depict each part of the pattern, paying attention to the transition and layering of colors.

Cultural fusion

Spanish fan painting combines European and Eastern art styles, showing a unique cultural charm.

Assembly and modification

Fixing the fan

Fixing the fan on the fan ribs is a key step in the production process. Our craftsmen need to ensure that the fan fits tightly to the fan ribs while keeping the overall structure of the fan stable.

Edge decoration

In order to increase the aesthetics, craftsmen will add silk cloth decoration to the edge of the fan. These decorations not only enhance the level of the fan, but also make it more beautiful.

Overall inspection and modification

Finally, we will conduct an overall inspection of the fan to ensure its smoothness when unfolding and folding. At the same time, we will modify the details of the fan to ensure that each fan achieves a qualified artistic effect.

Carving process

We will use knives and fine tools to carve different patterns on the fan ribs, showing a unique hollow style. These patterns are not only unique, but also reflect the cultural characteristics of women’s freedom and beauty. For example, some fan ribs will be carved with squares or diamonds.
