Join us at Flowing Barn for a serene and creative morning with our DIY Hand-Painted Swallow Kites Workshop. This event blends art, culture, and community, making it a perfect getaway right near the city of Palo Alto.
Our session starts at 10:00 AM on June 22nd, featuring the traditional art of swallow kite-making, a craft recognized as part of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage. These kites, inspired by the swallows of Beijing, symbolize freedom and beauty and are a delightful expression of cultural artistry.
Begin the workshop with a guided meditation to help you connect with your creative spirit and relax into the experience. With painting templates, you will then hand-paint your own swallow kite, adding personal touches as you imbibe tranquility and joy from the process.
After completing your kites, we'll all gather for a group flying session, where you can watch your creations take flight against the backdrop of our beautiful venue. It's a fantastic opportunity to feel the freedom your kite symbolizes and bond with fellow participants.
What's included:
- Expert painting guidance.
- All materials needed for your hand-painted kite, including kite strings.
- A short, guided meditation session to enhance focus and creativity.
- A communal kite flying experience.
This workshop requires no previous skills in painting or kite making and is open to all who are interested in an immersive, creative morning. It’s not just about making kites but about building connections and enjoying a shared, peaceful experience.
Come let your spirit soar as high as your kite in the wind! Enjoy a morning filled with creativity, culture, and community, all set in a relaxing, supportive environment.
