Lauhala Hatband with Pua Medina

Register Online Now through August 16, 2025.

Join us for Lauhala Hatband with Pua Medina.

Learn to  weave a hatband for your pāpale (crownless hat)! This hatband will be an adjustable style, so it can easily be made to fit your own hat or be given as a gift for someone special! 

In this class Pua will talk about the use of lauhala and demonstrate how the leaves are prepared for weaving. You will learn to weave a basic pattern using materials prepared by Pua, and finish with a beautiful hatband.  

Pua is a lifelong student of the traditional arts and crafts of Hawaiʻi. She began weaving lauhala over 30 years ago, and loves sharing her technique and joy with others.  

There will be a $25 supply fee payable to the instructor which includes all materials and tools needed to complete one hatband.

What to Bring:

• $25 supply fee
• Water in your personal flask to stay hydrated
• Glasses if you need them
• Dress comfortably
