Kites for charity
WOÅšP 2023
2023 | WOÅšP Hexagon kite
In January 2023, we auctioned a hexagon kite created by Alicja together with a wooden winder made by Milosz. This time to raise funds for the medical equipment for early diagnosis of the bacterial infection that causes sepsis, which is deeply needed in Poland. We raised €400.
The happy winner of 2023 auction is Malcolm from New Zealand. The kite was delivered to Cervia, Italy, where kite lovers meet every year for an Artevento kite festival.
WOÅšP 2022
2022 | WOÅšP Eddy kite
For the second year in a row, we supported the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOÅšP).
This time Alicja created two kites with the colourful eyes motif of this year's fundraiser. In addition to the kites, our friend Milosz Rene Lam crafted wooden line winders with WOÅšP logo. Together they raised €390. The money from the 2022 fundraiser went towards equipment for children’s ophthalmology.

2022 | Kites for Ukraine
Russia's attack on Ukraine has triggered in us, as in many people all over the world, the desire to help and also to express solidarity with the Ukrainian people and, above all, with our kite flying friends in Ukraine. Since the beginning of this cruel war, a lot of beautiful kites in colours of the Ukrainian flag have been created in various corners of the world, which are, on the one hand, an expression of solidarity and, on the other, an expression of the pain we are experiencing. This is how our solidarity chain was made. We created it together with Filip and Karolina, for whom this was also the first experience with kite building.

2020 | Paraglider flies again
Challenge: transform a paraglider into a kite train.
In 2018 I received a retired paraglider from a friend, After a two-year wait I started to work on the project, inspired by the Dieppe kite festival "The Earth in the spotlight" theme. Dieppe festival was moved to 2022, so after another 2 years the paraglider finally made it to the sky again! In a slightly different form... More about this project here.
2020 | Cards fly the world
How small should a scrap of fabric be to qualify for throwing away? That is a question I often ask myself when I build kites. And most scraps end up in the scrap box. What to do with the smallest ones? How about creating 70 unique greetings cards and sending them to friends all over the world? Yes!
