Craft Lake City Workshop: Haku Lei Making

The art of lei making welcomes all with this traditional method used in the South Pacific Polynesian Islands as a traditional piece to celebrate & honor loved ones. This workshop is a part of our New Americans series instructed by local Utah artisan Kamie Afo-Aiono. In this class, Kamie will guide attendees through the process of crafting & braiding a stunning lei alongside the connection between this craft and her culture. Attendees will leave with a gorgeous fresh floral crown!

As part of this six-part series, Craft Lake City is offering three full scholarships to each New American workshop based on financial need. To apply for a scholarship to this workshop, click here.

Beginners are welcome and all supplies are provided.
