Just been doing kite-design workshops with two classes of 9/10 year olds locally – equal parts exhausting and brilliant, as ever. Some of the designs are incredibly sophisticated.

105 Spring-themed kite designs ready for display around the local community. Now I just need to go distribute them…

Here's a few of the kites in shop windows around the local area – I've worked with the local business association to use 20 shop windows as a gallery for the young people's work
