Haven't attended an in person workshop, don't worry!!! Still come and share your interest in kite making!! The Second special session is on Sunday and that is called 'Finish my Project'. Do you have a kite making project that you started at a workshop but have yet to finish? Do you have questions about finishing? Well bring your stuff and your notepads to this session and let's get it figured out and get that kite flying!
