Bring your fans, JASNA-NC! Our September meeting will be a fascinating look at brisé fans with Candice Hern as our speaker. Candice will use fans from her collection to discuss this particular type of fan popular during the Regency period. (Brisé fans have no folded leaf of silk or paper, but consist entirely of pierced sticks.) She will also give historical context to the style and size of the fans, as well as the materials used to make them. Candice will also give tips on how to communicate secret messages using the Language of Fans. We recommend coming with a fan, if you have one, so you can practice the Language of Fans.
