FAN GIFT - THE MAKING OF

Aldaia is considered the cradle of the Valencian fan-making tradition, with a craft heritage dating back to the 19th century. The local production is based on a highly specialised artisanal process involving different craftsmen, from the creation and decoration of the ribs to painting, varnishing, fabric work and final assembly. The tradition has been passed down through generations, preserving techniques that combine woodworking, textile craftsmanship, decoration and hand assembly. The result is a distinctive Spanish craft product where each component contributes to the character and identity of the final fan.
