October Brasington Workshops!!!!!

October 8th & 9th, 2011, we will be hosting Robert Brasington here on the lovely North Shore of Massachusetts!!!

Robert is a master kite maker from Tasmania who has a very distinctive style of colors and patterns that make beautiful kites!!!   He is taking a couple of days off of his traveling schedule for this workshop for us.

You will have the chance to make one of his Concentrix kites, or a spinning Wind Tulip 

(see the picture above) at each of the workshops.   

Some people decided to stick around and take both classes,  if their schedule allows.

These two days are limited to 16 people all together (that means 8&8 of course) 

so if you want to get into one of these get in quickly!

I will be keeping a waiting list in case someone backs out, and the open spot will fall to the next person in line.

Please see the official page on Windsweptkites.com for more details.

Newport!

Are you going to Newport?   Newport RI???  

Well....maybe you should.

This upcoming weekend is the Newport Kite Festival.   

This is one of the best kite festivals around the country.......in one of the prettiest spots!

We will be down there....again (some where around festival #14 for me).

If you are going and there is anything you would like to purchase let me know and it can be tossed into the vehicle for a pickup - nothing like hand delivery!

Good winds

See you on the field!!!

We have Will Sturdy's new single line kite on hand.

These are big gliding kites that are meant to be used indoors or outdoors in xUL wind conditions.

They are quite responsive for their size and can glide quite a distance with ease.   

These are all microcarbon, flat carbon, and icarex handmade by a master kite builder!!!

The Chiropteras are 137$ shipped in the US.

By the by: each kite comes with a .25$ back too!!!

Welcome to summer everyone (in the northern hemisphere)

Welcome to the sunny summer time!

We just received a box of Chiropteras from Sturdy Designs.   

These xUL gliders looks phenomenal!!!   

The webpage will be updated soon to reflect this shipment.

What are you doing in October 2011 the weekend of the 8th/9th?   

We will be having a couple of workshops here in Massachusetts with Robert Brassington!!!!   

This will be the first time that Robert has come up here to teach us little people!   

More info will be announced as it comes in, but this will be a fast filling weekend of classes!!

We will be trying to bring kite makers in for workshops into the Northeast more often.

Ty Billings Kites!!!!!

A stash of new kites made by Ty Billings has been uncovered!   

These are old stock kites that had never been unrolled since they were made and they are beautiful!!!!!

There are Dancing Bear Arch Eddy kites; these are able to be flown individually or connect their bowlines together to form an arch.   These are all appliquéd, with Ty's trademark tye-dyed material on the neck of each bear.   There are only a handful of these, so if you want one email to claim one quick!

There are also two of Ty's Yotzu kites.   

He did a lot of research on this design and kept tweaking it until it flew just right.   

These are neat shapes, that are bursting with color.   

Head over to Windswept Kites to find these treasures!

These are only a handful of the newly arrived kites we have on hand.
