What is Russian grip fan anyhow?
Russian grip fans or big ring fans have been around for a while this refers to the grip of the fan being a nice unimpeded circle of around 3 inches or bigger.
For me it’s my preferred style of fan technique as it’s very fluid.
here’s an example of Russian grip spinning by the amazing teacher and artist maiya prokanzia ( though let me be clear it’s not a product endorsement shes just a legend)
Why wooden practice fans?
I chose to make wooden fans because at heart I’m a bit of an environmentalist – I wanted fans that would not add to the amount of plastic in the world. Also, I can’t afford a CNC router! To be honest I was breaking fans (I do throw mine around a lot) and decided I needed to make my own so I can have as many fans as I like! and also replace them if they break.
Each fan is currently made from two layers of laser-cut plywood to provide both strength and lightness, I wanted to build wooden practice fans that encourage people to fan more often and are easy for beginners to learn on.
We also have “pretty” fancy fans (“lovelace” ) that are for daytime performances and have a lace-inspired design though not as durable they are quite lovely.
Made in Australia
These Russian grip practice fans are handmade in Australia, they are made with love and care but may contain imperfections from the process
