In this session you will learn how to make an Indian Fighting Kite, known in India as a ‘Patang’, using both classic and contemporary techniques and materials.

You will also learn about the kite’s history and be sent home with instructions on how to make them at home, as well as hints and tips on how to fly them.

Leading the workshop is Chris Jarratt, the shining light behind the ‘Community Kite Project’, a collective of artists, designers and makers who have a passion for kite making and kite flying.
