About the event
Language of the Fan By Swashbuckling Cornwall Decode the secret signals of courtship and etiquette from Regency England with Language of the Fan.
This hands-on workshop will explore how Regency ladies used fans to flirt, deflect, or entice—all without saying a word. Learn and practice the historical gestures that once spoke volumes, along with bit of fan history.
Perfect for those who are looking for a FAN time and a different way to engage with the past, whether you are a fan of Austen, Bridgerton or other regency drama this is for you.
Swashbuckling Cornwall is known for its work with the blade on stage and screen but now invites you to explore this even more deadly weapon- the fan.
