Let you imagination take flight with this kite making workshop! Take inspiration from the colourful kite-flying traditions of Asia and the stunning kite festivals of the world. Frances – an International kite artist who exhibits her work all over the world will help to stimulate your ideas by showing some of her own art kite creations. Make paper Art Kites – creations of your own design, completely unique to you using paper and bamboo. Learn shibori dyeing techniques to create a thoroughly individual paper to adorn your kite and really cut a dash in the park on a windy day.

What to expect

Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.

We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.

The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.

We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!

What you’ll need to bring with you

Everything you need will be provided. However, if you have ideas about specifics you'd like to incorporate, feel free to bring them along.

Things could get messy, so please wear old clothes.
