WOW- Lauhala Weaving Workshop

This month, on September 10, 2011, we were so fortunate to have Kumu Umi Kai present a hands-on workshop about the basics of weaving lauhala. We had a great time learning about hala; what a hala tree looks like, how and when to collect the lau, and then we got weaving!















Mahalo Umi for the knowledge to create simple lauhala  pieces of art, stars bracelets and even a rose.  Also, mahalo to our volunteers Asia, Natalie, and Chelsey, who are always such a great help.
