At the OSEK fall club meeting a winter kite-building workshop came up for discussion. Several of those in attendance were at the 2006 workshop and enjoyed it so much they asked if I would plan another one for this winter. I have done that. This year we have invited master kite maker Cliff Quinn to lead us in our kite making experience. Everything is set for our 2008 mini retreat.

The dates are February 9 & 10, 2008. This year we will construct one kite over the two-day period. The kite we selected is a cellular kite, the same one he is teaching at the Ft. Warden retreat in March. Since we are only making one kite it will be necessary for everyone to begin on Saturday and finish up on Sunday. Lunch and hall rental will be included in the cost, so you will only need to bring yourself and your equipment. I will make arrangements at a local restaurant Saturday night for a group gathering. If you are interested in joining us, let me know when you register for the workshop.

This kite will require straight stitching for the most part, but it should be an interesting project for beginners and experienced kite builders alike. If you are a beginner, we will have plenty of experienced kite makers available to give you individual attention and if you are experienced there are always new and useful techniques that can be picked up. The cost of this workshop is $100.00. All of the necessary materials for the project will be provided in kit form at the workshop.

This workshop will be limited to 15 participants, so get your reservations in early. You will need to bring your sewing machine, scissors, thread, needles, straight edge and any other equipment you normally use when sewing. Please be familiar with the sewing machine you bring and know how to set it up and adjust it.

The location for the workshop is the same as in previous years. It is the brick building adjacent to Shore Haven Lutheran Church in Euclid. The address for the church is 280 East 222 St. Euclid,
