The drawing is done with a technical drawing program, taking into account the number of ribs in the piece and their measurements. The pleating pattern is different for each set of ribs.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designing the fan drawing<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC05920-1024x577.webp\" alt=\"Making a natural silk fan at Manos de Agua.\" class=\"wp-image-4423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC05920-1024x577.webp 1024w, https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC05920-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC05920-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC05920-1536x865.webp 1536w, https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC05920-2048x1153.webp 2048w, https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC05920-600x338.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using a drawing program and a graphics tablet, we create the drawing that the <strong>fan\u2019s natural silk will carry. Once the outline of the drawing is created digitally, the design is adapted to the size of the silk,<\/strong> that is, to the pleating template made in the previous stage. Once the drawing is fitted, we do color tests in the graphic design program to decide the shades we will use later when painting the silk. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Printing the pleating template and the fan drawing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pleating template is printed on cardstock, two templates per fan. The drawing is printed on paper. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pleating the fan templates<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pleating templates are pleated, as the name suggests, following exactly the lines of the drawn sections, to later use them to pleat the silk once it has been painted, the dyes set in the steamer, washed, and starched. Pleating consists of aligning the fan leaf silk with the marked lines on the finished templates. This way, and after pressing them, the silk will take on the typical stepped shape of fans.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preparing the silk, or fan leaf<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the silk piece has been painted with the leaf for several fans, it is set in the steamer, washed, dried, and stretched again on the frame to give it, as it\u2019s known in the craft world, its finish. Once the finish is dry, the artisan trims the fan shape and inserts it between two pleating templates, where it is left for a day. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC05895-1024x577.webp\" alt=\"Making a natural silk fan at Manos de Agua.\" class=\"wp-image-50\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC05895-1024x577.webp 1024w, https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC05895-scaled-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC05895-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC05895-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC05895-1536x865.webp 1536w, https:\/\/manosdeagua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC05895-2048x1153.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Making a natural silk fan at Manos de Agua.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>M<\/strong>ounting the silk onto the ribs<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the silk is removed from the <strong>pleating templates, the lower circle is cut precisely and glued section by section to each rib,<\/strong> and the first and last sections to the fan\u2019s outer ribs (guards).
