Picasso Meets Sewing Machine Artists - Fanø 2018
kite.builders has an article about our Fanø Kitemakers Workshop.

That sounds complicated and it is - until you know how it works. 17 participants participated in the workshop at the Fanø school, where six kites were completed at the workshop and the remaining kites completed at home."
