Excited to Host an Inspiring Afternoon with Fernanda Fan!
We are delighted to invite you to a special creative afternoon devoted entirely to internationally acclaimed painter Fernanda Fan, on December 14, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
⸻
Part One: Art Talk (1:00 PM – 2:00 PM)
Free Admission
Step into Fernanda’s world as she shares her transformative journey—from her early days as a commercial artist in China to becoming a visionary who weaves everyday moments with the poetic, symbolic imagery of Eastern ethnic minority cultures.
She will present several large acrylic paintings she has brought for display, including two inspired by the evocative Southeast Asian imagery of French photographer Manu, whose longstanding presence in the region informs a thoughtful and distinctive visual language. We are also pleased that Manu will be joining the session, offering a subtle complement to Fernanda’s storytelling.
This Art Talk is completely free of charge.

Part Two: Handmade Wax Sachet & Watercolor Card Workshop (2:00 PM – 4:00 PM)
Roll up your sleeves and let Fernanda guide you in crafting delicate dried-flower wax sachets infused with essential oils, followed by painting your own watercolor greeting card to accompany it. Together, these pieces will be nestled into a charming gift box—creating the perfect, heartfelt Christmas present made with your own hands.
As petals meet wax and colors bloom on paper, you’ll feel the gentle rhythm of mindful making, transforming simple materials into treasures that whisper peace, beauty, and meaning.
Workshop Material Fee
• 300 THB per participant
• 250 THB for seniors aged 60+
⸻
By the end of the session, you’ll discover how art can naturally weave itself into your daily rituals—how a handmade wax keepsake or a personal card can carry memory, inspiration, and joy.
