Banner making workshops
We can supply banner making workshops in schools, youth groups, community groups, with older people, and in Family Learning Projects. Banners can be made from silk and painted, sewn using applique techniques.
Banners for hire
We have a range of banners and poles for hire and dry-hire. Prices available on application.
How do banners work?
Banners and flags are basically pieces of cloth which operate with the wind. If you fix them at all four corners they will become like a sail and try to pull something along with them! Generally they are fixed along one side (the leading edge) and sometimes also along the top if there is a yardarm. This helps the banner to hang well even when there is no wind, so you can see the whole design. A curved pole does the same job but the banner needs to be designed to fit the curvature of the pole exactly.
What about banner poles?
Banners might be hung on long bamboo poles or on extendable carbon fibre fishing poles which are easier to store and transport. The pole is often set into a tube or onto a stake so that it can swivel in the wind and not get tangled.
