Class description:
In this four-part workshop, students will learn the foundations of Hawaiian lauhala weaving, from gathering lau to weaving their first project. Following the oral tradition passed down through generations, participants will gain an introductory understanding of both the practice and culture connected to this art form. This workshop can be seen as a good primer for next learning steps, such as the Kona weaving conference. All necessary materials will be provided, though students might like to bring their own spritzer or scissors, as well as gloves, sun hat, and long sleeve shirt for gathering lau.
