Lauhala Weaving!

  • Keauhou Farmers Market 78-6831 Alii Drive Kailua-Kona, HI, 96740 United States (map)

Lauhala Weaving at the Keauhou Farmers Market! Come by on Saturday June 10th for a very special event! We will be hosting two incredible lauhala weavers to demonstrate this ancient art and Hawaiian tradition. Carol Zakahi will be showing us how to weave a heart and Noriko Morisaki will be showing us how to weave a bracelet. These wonderful women have presented this art to people from all over the world! Carol Zakahi grew up on a coffee farm with many lauhala trees. She began learning by watching her mom, who had been weaving since the 1930’s! Carol was inspired to continue her practice and eventually began teaching others through these demonstrations. Stop by and enjoy a beautiful Saturday with friends and family for this free event at the Keauohou Farmers Market in the Keauhou Shopping Center.

There will be mini lauhala kits for sale if you would like to try your hand at weaving a heart or bracelet. This event will run from 9-11:30 am. Hope to see you there!
