Kites for charity
Kites for WOŚP
WOŚP is the greatest Polish charity event, which raises funds for specialist equipment for Polish (mainly children's) hospitals.
Every year since 2021 Alicja makes a kite for WOŚP with their annual graphic motif. This unique and one of a kind kite is then auctioned online at the end of January, when the main WOŚP events are taking please all around the globe. We announce the auction at our social media few week before it starts.
More details about the kites and auctions here.

2021 | Kites Fighting Cancer
Colibri bird goes on a winding road and gets out onto the kite's sail to fly high - a reference to the difficult road that cancer fighters have to take to recovery.
The kite raised $1000 for cancer research.
Winders and kites for Peace
In 2022 and 2023 we raised funds with kites and winders during kite events in Murska Sobota, Dieppe, Cervia and Fanø.
12 mini diamond kites with Ukrainian colours, designed and made by Alicja, and 41 wooden winders with engravings, designed and made by our friend Miłosz.
We donated our time, work, and materials. In turn many kite friends donated money.
Thank you to all supporters for the donations. 100% of the profit was transferred to Ukrainian Kite Association. It helped the UKA members and their families to escape the danger of war and supported their life in new countries of residence.

2022 | Arch 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!
