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 does the “ground crew” play? In this work­shop, Klaus Michels gives you an insight into the fasci­nat­ing world of kite flying.

First, you’ll build a single-line kite together and fit it with show kites. Then it’s on to vari­ous steer­able kites with and with­out a frame. Wind­socks and wind spin­ners, anchored to the ground, are also used.

After that, it’s your turn to try it out. Depend­ing on wind condi­tions, partic­i­pants can fly differ­ent kites and gain first-hand expe­ri­ence. Feel free to bring your own kite. If you already have kite-flying expe­ri­ence, you’re warmly invited to help out the group.

Please note: The work­shop depends on wind and weather condi­tions. How many sessions can take place will there­fore be decided at short notice and announced about a day in advance each time.
