    Join us for Rigid Heddle Weaving with Reina Young

    This class introduces new weavers to the portable rigid heddle loom. Weavers have the option to create a scarf, table runner, or placemats. We will go over different pattern techniques, play with color palettes, experiment with various fibers, and learn how to warp and dress the loom.

    The rigid heddle loom is essentially a rectangular, wooden frame loom. However, it differs from the simple frame looms that are now readily available and often used for tapestry, as it has space for a heddle/reed, making it capable of producing sheds (gaps or spaces) to weave through. It is a 2 shaft loom, but has further reaching capabilities.

    This class is open to any skill level. There will be an additional supply fee of $25, to include yarn and weaving tools, payable to the instructor on the first day of class. All supplies and materials will be provided. 

    What to Bring: 

    • $25 supply fee
    • Notebook and pen

        Join us for Eco Dye Scarf with Jena Hayama & Alison Ibara-Kawabe.

        Bring Your Own flowers and Plants (BYOP) to create a unique botanical silk scarf. 

        Eco dyeing is a special technique that uses the natural pigments of plants to imprint color and images onto fabric. Local plants and flowers in season are wrapped into bundles and then steamed to print onto silk scarves.

        Successful eco-printing using this method requires knowledge of (and access to) plants that are rich in tannins and natural dyes.


        But what if you don’t have these plants?

        In this class, we will use a “blanket” prepared with acid dye to create both positive and negative botanical prints on a silk scarf. This technique produces a scarf with a vivid background color and dramatic plant silhouettes. Plants may or may not have natural dye properties.

        In other words, “ANY KINE” PLANT will work!

        Bring your own flowers and leaves, especially ones with distinctive or unique silhouettes, and leave with your very own botanical printed silk scarf.

        Experience with basic eco-dyeing technique is helpful, but not required.

        There will be a $20 supply fee that includes one habotai silk scarf, dye supplies (iron mordant, prepared dye blanket, citric acid solution, plastic wrap, etc.) supplied and payable to the instructor on the day of class.


        What to bring:

        • Bring your own fresh plants and/or flowers. Any kind will work!
        •  $20 supply fee payable to Jena Hayama
        • Bag lunch for short break (or get lunch downtown)
        • Come dressed for dyeing
        • *other suggestions: onion skins, pressed leaves/flowers, teas, herbs, tree bark or even seaweed may work!

        Instructor Bio

        Jena Hayama (aka J. Tanuki) is a "dye explorer" who experiments with locally grown plants in Hawaiʻi to dye fibers and make clothes, among other things.

            Join us for Soap Making Naturally with Ghislaine Chock.

            Ghislaine has been making her own soaps for over 15 years using the cold process method.

            This soap making class will be simple enough for you to want to make soap bars for yourself and your loved ones forever. In the saponification process of making soap, we will use quality oils from plants blended with an alkali (sodium hydroxide, which all soaps contain). No preservatives, no shelf extenders, no chemical detergents, no hardeners or synthetic lathering agents -- in other words, no harsh ingredients will be used.  Your homemade soaps will not only benefit your skin but also the environment.

            Skill Level: Beginner 

            There will be an additional supply fee of $45 payable to the instructor on the day of class. The supply fee includes all oils and a silicone soap mold.

            What to Bring:

            • $45 supply fee
            • One bath towel
            • A pair of comfortable water proof gloves (disposable gloves ok)
