Join us for Haku Lei-making with Maile Sakamoto.
In this intro class, all skill levels are welcome! Get a jump on graduations (or other occasions) and learn how to make a Hawaiian-style lei. We will be making a "wili" lei that binds leaves and flowers onto a backing.
There are many styles and techniques for lei-making; this is an introduction to just one of them! Students will learn the basics of this "wili" technique and make a kupe’e (wristlet or anklet). The emphasis will not be on finishing a lei, but rather to solidly learn the technique so it can be replicated at home. Patience and attention are required! We will discuss various backings and plant materials. Students will be able to take enough supplies home to make a lei on their own (flowers not included). The $10 supply fee includes all lei materials: backing, raffia and some plant material.
