Artist Annyen Lam leads this hands-on workshop in traditional and experimental kite-making. Participants will construct bamboo-and-washi kites using Japanese paper and environmentally conscious materials, then personalize them with pigment and pattern.

Across many cultures, the kite is a lightweight tool of aspiration and memory, shaped by both design and natural forces. This session furthers the program’s exploration of material culture, tying together handmade ink, airborne structures, and the diverse cultural heritages that shape Markham’s landscape.
