THE KITEMAN
                         Kite Workshops        

I have over 25 years experience in kite making workshops dealing with both children and
adults and have been recommended by many education authorities and organisations.

         Enjoy a wonderful day learning the art of making, and flying kites.

 A kite workshop takes a whole day which gives me time to show a video, talk about kites in
general, answer any questions, safety aspects etc and most importantly teach the children how
to make and fly a kite (I guarantee every kite will fly). When every pupil has completed their kite
we all go outside and fly our kites (I will bring a selection of my own to fly).

Although requiring some care and basic skills kite making can be enjoyed by anyone of any age.
With all the modern materials now available, the sky is the limit! and by following some simple
rules of aerodynamics anyone can make and fly kites of their own design or bizarre ideas.
