I had a fun time with a group of ladies who were basically beginners and wanted to learn how to make lei po'o. They were very eager and did a great job! I was so busy going around and teaching that I neglected to take too many pics so here are a few finished group pics.
Graduation pic! They all did a great job!!
We had a great Lei Po'o (head lei) workshop the day before lei day. Most of these ladies were beginners and did really well for a first try.
This is a great opportunity to create a head lei (lei Po'o) to wear on Lei Day, May 1. We will be using the "wili" method to create your lei. Please contact me to sign up and if you refer a friend, who attends for the workshop, I will give you 10% discount on your fee.
