Here you will find the painted ripstop from Aerial Art. 
 Scott Hampton uses his manly  fabric then hand paints the material to get his well known and sought after faded color scheme  on his fantastically designed kites.   Each one of the items we carry from Scott is one-of-a-kind, the shape and design may be reproduced but the colors of the paint is never the same!

Who is Windswept Kites?


Karl Longbottom, maker from Herefordshire in the UK, is known probably most for his underwear - well not necessarily his but the ones that he designed and flys.  We are happy here to be the only place in the US to get your hands on his underwear and on his Angels. Longbottom Kites

Ordering and shipping info

Eric Curtis and Anne Sloboda are Canadian Kitemakers who produce outstanding kites.   A special dyeing process makes each of their kites one of a kind.   To add to the kites uniqueness is that each kite is only available as a limited run of kites.   Celtic designs are a part of life here at Windswept Kites,  
It makes sense then that we carry the nicest celtic knotwork kites available.

Anything that Gill Bloom has made is recognizable by the amount of color and detail in her kites and banners!   Painstaingly, she details the highlights on a petal of a flower using the color of the dyes, appliqued fabrics and extra stitching.
 We have been a fan of her items for quite some time, and are very glad to bring our friend Gill's items here!

Here is the first offerings of softgoods from us!
If you have been flying in the New England area for longer than 10 years it is certain that you have seen one of these shirts!  
These are brand new old stock that were discovered at David Laferriere's house.   Get them while you can, stock is VERY limited!

Dave Johnson -a local (to us) kite flyer/maker has been gleaning design tactics from kite makers like Scott Hampton with painted fabric,
then he building some great feather banners.  
 Dave has not shied away from any custom banner design yet-if you want something special just ask, and see what he says.
