Learn to create your own lei poʻo using the traditional wili style. Fresh greenery provided.

Participants will learn the wili (wrapping) technique for creating a Hawaiian lei po’o (head lei). Using fresh flowers and foliage, they will wrap the materials around a raffia base. While raffia and fresh foliage will be provided, attendees should also bring their own fresh flowers and foliage.

The Hui Hana Lei Volunteers are a group of dedicated lei makers who meet at Lyon Arboretum once a week. They specialize in wili leis using indigenous and non-indigenous materials. They are also active in making unique items for sale in Lyon Arboretum’s Gift Shop, utilizing natural materials from Lyon and private gardens. Through this workshop, the volunteers aim to share their expertise and foster a deeper appreciation for handmade Hawaiian lei.

Join us every Wednesday at 10:00am for a fun-filled story time! We’ll read a few simple stories, then make a craft or do an activity. Great fun for 2 – 5 year-olds and their parents or caregivers.

Come see for yourself the Beauty of Pastel in an exhibit sponsored by Pastel Artists of Hawaii (PAH). The exhibit, open to all pastel artists statewide, will be juried by Terrilynn Dubreuil, She is an internationally recognized “Master Circle

PAH is a Hawaii-wide group of artists who produce works using soft, sometimes known as dry, pastels. The pieces must consist of at least 80% soft pastel. Used for hundreds of years by the likes of Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, and Pierre-August Renoir, soft pastels are nothing more than pigment (or color) held in a stick form by a minimum amount of binder, allowing the artists many ways of applying and manipulating the color.

Scenes from Hawaii tend to feature prominently in PAH paintings, but you can also see portraits, still life, and maybe even a few abstracts. Come see some views of the islands and more through the loving eyes of these local artists.

Painters and ceramicists collide in "Forms of Voids." Two local artists—painter Kloe Kang and ceramicist Suzanne Wolfe—explore the symbolic power of the bowl, bridging the gap between ethereal painting and tactile clay.

After first collaborating in 2007 at the Honolulu Academy of Arts (Linekona), Kang and Wolfe reunite for a shared investigation of one of humanity's most elemental objects. The exhibit uses the simple form of a "bowl" to explore complex themes of identity and physical reality.

In this renewed partnership, the artists transition from sharing a studio to sharing a conceptual anchor. Kang’s paintings function as "visual pronouns" exploring the ephemeral state of being, while Wolfe’s ceramic forms remain rooted in material reality, layered with intricate text and imagery. It is a compelling look at how local artists collaborate and evolve across different mediums over decades.

To do the latter requires a shared musical vision and a strong commitment to realizing it, a commitment this couple has had for many years. Soyeon Kate Lee has been lauded by the New York Times as a pianist with "a huge, richly varied sound, a lively imagination and a firm sense of style," and by the Washington Post for her "stunning command of the keyboard.” Ran Dank combines his brilliant technique with intellect, intensity, and astonishing energy, captivating audiences and critics alike.
