About this Event
Lauhala Bracelet Workshop
with Pūlama Long
Waikīkī Community Center (2nd Floor – Stair Access Only)
Join us for a hands-on Lauhala Bracelet Workshop led by cultural practitioner Pūlama Long. In this intimate class, participants will learn the cultural foundations and weaving techniques needed to create one lauahala bracelet (made by you!) to take home.
What You’ll Learn
Pūlama will begin by sharing the moʻōlelo (history) of how the hala tree came to Hawaiʻi, followed by an introduction to kilo—the practice of intentional observation—before guiding participants through the weaving process step by step.
Each participant will:
- Learn cultural context and ʻike kūpuna connected to lauhala
- Practice kilo as part of the creative process
- Weave one lauhala bracelet
No prior weaving experience is necessary.
