Description

Join artist and kite-flier Andrew Maize for a hands-on workshop that will introduce the basics of successfully launching, landing, and flying large kites, kite cameras and kite-laundry (ie. kite banners). We will discuss knot-tying, launching/landing techniques, environmental factors, safety, equipment, and kite banner designs. The workshop will begin at Wonder’neath from 10am-11am, and then will move to the Common, where we will practice launching, flying and landing big kites (and kite banners)!


Participants are encouraged to dress for the elements (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses) and bring a  pair of work gloves (thin leather gloves or similar are ideal - the kite string can burn hands when under a lot of tension!)


Participants are also invited to help fly kite banners at future sessions of RAISING BIG QUESTIONS for MayWorks 2026.
