Description 

Mass-produced kites from a store will never match the creative expression, satisfaction, and fun of flying that you will receive from a kite you design yourself. Do you keep photos and sketches of kites you like? Have you ever thought about designing your own unique kites that are different from others?

In this class we will explore different methods of kite design. You'll go home with a few new designs that you create yourself, even if you're not a wildly creative person. Each student will create something different from the others. Something new. Could it be rigid, soft, asymmetrical, big, or small? Yes.

We won't build kites in class, but through experimentation you'll see that it's easier than you think to create new designs that are simple or imaginatively complex.

No previous experience in kite design is required.

Equipment

Bring scissors and a way to take photos of your finished designs.

If you'd like, you can buy a copy of the book, "Kite Design" on Amazon.com.
