We specialize in teaching a maiau (neat and meticulous) style of lei making, and are proud to remain true to our roots in sharing this traditionally-inspired style of lei making. In each of our workshops, we donʻt just teach you how to make a lei, we share context of lei making as a reciprocal practice, from growing, to harvesting, all the way to giving. We ensure our workshop participants leave with a greater understanding of this cultural practice as a whole, as well as the skills and resources to continue its perpetuation beyond the workshop.
All skill levels are welcome! This workshop is most suitable for ages 12+, however we welcome all ages (children with adult supervision).
