Sled Kite; This sled kite is a Peter Lynn design and my favourite kite for any age group, especially if they have never flown a kite before. It is easy to make and always flies very well. I use materials that are very easy to source. A great introduction to the wonder of kites.

Orizome Kaku Dako Kite; Orizome translates as 'folded dyeing'. I was privileged to be able to learn how to make these beautiful kites from Master Japanese Kite maker, Mikio Toki. This kite is made from Japanese Washi paper and bamboo spars.

The Rokkaku; kite is another traditional Japanese design. This one will be made of Tyvek a hard-wearing type of material that can be painted with a stencilled design. It flies well and can also be used as a fighting kite.

Delta Kite; Make a single string Delta sewn Kite using ripstop nylon, equipment required to bring a sewing machine and strong thread (polyester), some sewing experience necessary. This is an extremely easy to fly kite that will last for many years of joyful flying.
