How do you safely get a kite into the air? What’s the differ­ence between single-line, two-line, and multi-line kites? And what role do the “ground crew” play? In this work­shop, Klaus Michels offers a glimpse into the fasci­nat­ing world of kite flying. 

First, we’ll work together to set up a single-line kite and attach show kites to it. Next, we’ll explore vari­ous stunt kites, both with and with­out frames. We’ll also use wind socks and wind chimes that are secured to the ground. 

After that, it’s time to give it a try. Depend­ing on the wind condi­tions, partic­i­pants can fly differ­ent kites and gain some initial expe­ri­ence. Feel free to bring your own kites. Anyone with prior kite-flying expe­ri­ence is welcome to help out the group. 

Please note: The work­shop is subject to wind and weather condi­tions. The number of sessions that can be held will there­fore be decided on short notice and announced approx­i­mately one day in advance.
