Join us for an afternoon of flowers, hands, and aloha as we learn the art of Hawaiian lei-making just in time for Mother's Day.
Perfect for anyone who wants to learn a beautiful cultural practice, create a meaningful Mother's Day gift, or spend a few hours making something lovely with your hands.
Alana Smutz and experienced lei-makers from Halau i Ka Pono will guide you through traditional techniques as you create a fresh flower head lei - like a crown - to give (or keep!) for Mother's Day weekend. No experience necessary - all materials provided, beginners welcome.
What to Expect:
Learn basic Hawaiian lei-making techniques
Create one complete head lei (lei po’o) to take home
Hear stories about lei in Hawaiian culture
Connect with community in a relaxed, hands-on atmosphere
Early Bird Registration: $30 per person (register by April 16th) Regular Price: $35. All materials provided - just bring yourself! Space is limited to 20 participants.
All proceeds from this workshop support Halau i Ka Pono.
Looking Ahead: Join us August 1st for our Lā Kū'ē Lei Celebration featuring hula performance, lei contest, potluck, and fundraiser to support our halau's journey to Honolulu for Kumu Michael Pili Pang's 40th anniversary concert.
