Kites by Martin Lester
I started making and designing kites in 1973 while still at Art College. The hobby grew into a job when I started working in Europe's first kite shop here in Bristol in 1976.  I swapped the cash register for the sewing machine and set up my own business in 1982, designing and producing my own range of kites.
My kites could never be described as mass market - originality of design and quality of workmanship have always been my prime concern.
All the kites shown here are fully three dimensional, using the wind to inflate them.  The earlier designs have frames, the more recent ones are totally soft ( NO STICKS = NO ASSEMBLY!).  The pictures you can see show the production versions (colours may vary), however I can do custom versions to order, for example a scuba diver in your own wetsuit!  Legs and top half in your own team colours, they can even have a soccer ball to play with.
I even provide a custom building service for more traditional kites, flags and banners for both private and corporate customers.
