We are fortunate to have L.G. Mahi La Pierre lead this workshop. Mahi is a multi-media artisan from Maunalua and Kapālama on the island of Oʻahu. He has worked in the fields of education, conservation, and resource management for the last 22 years. Mahi enjoys exploring, perpetuating, and sharing the art and science of Hawaiian indigenous knowledge and practices. Mahi’s passion for creating traditional and modern interpretations of na mea Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian things), such as ʻūkēkē (musical bow) and hōlua (land sleds) is fueled by an innate curiosity of Hawaiian practices that are not commonplace today. ******************************************************************************************** Workshop: Intro to Lauhala Weaving Instructor: Jewelynn Kirkland When: November 23, 2019 Location: Camp Palehua Directions will be provided upon registration Cost: $20 per person or $50 for families of up to 3 people*** Join us for this fabulous workshop and learn basics about lauhala weaving.
