Instructor Bios:
Linda Hee: Simple craft projects kept me sane during COVID. This instructor has no degree or any degree of skill in the production of these items but I’m very happy to share some of them with all y’all.
Helen Rau: Growing up in Japan my mother kept me and my brothers busy folding origami boxes. When box making patterns were donated to the Hui, it brought back fond memories of my childhood.

How do I get to the Studio? From the Chinatown Gateway Garage, take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk to the large double doors on the left. Enter the gallery and turn left; we are the last door on the left, past the kitchen. If you are parked elsewhere, walk up the steps to the DAC gift shop, go past it to find the elevator, and follow the instructions above to access the studio. There is a handicap ramp if you cannot walk up the stairs for the DAC building on the Nu'uanu entrance side. Walk towards the street lights, and you will see the ramp; you will need to walk through the courtyard to the elevator.
