Spanish Fan Painting Workshop with Local Artist in Valencia

Step inside the real Valencia and immerse yourself in a unique cultural experience in the historic neighborhood of Benimaclet. In a beautiful indoor garden space inspired by a traditional huerto valenciano, learn from a local Valencian artist the fascinating history of the Spanish hand fan and the secret “language of the fan” used as a form of communication in the 18th and 19th century; the original text messaging of Spain.

During this hands-on fan painting workshop in Valencia, discover traditional patterns, symbols, and colors, and then choose your own design to create a personalized hand-painted fan. Select one of the classic motifs or craft your own pattern on a high-quality blank fan. Spanish guitar music plays softly in the background while you paint, creating an unforgettable atmosphere rooted in local culture.

Whether you’re looking for an authentic cultural experience in Valencia, a fun activity with friends or family, or a meaningful souvenir to take home, this workshop is the perfect way to connect with the traditions of Spain. Leave with a beautiful handcrafted fan of your own design, a unique keepsake and a lasting memory of your time in Valencia.
