Make Hawaiian Head Lei (lei po'o) Class

Learn to make a beautiful crown/head lei from an award-winning lei maker, Margery Ohlson!

Only 20 tickets available! Deadline to sign up is Thursday, March 26, at 11:30 pm.

$60 includes hands-on instruction, lei culture & etiquette session, all materials needed, and extensive Q&A.

In Hawaiian, “po’o” means “head,” so a lei po’o is a head lei. Great for graduations, parties, gifts, and more! You’ll make a beautiful 21-inch Lei Po’o using a beautiful assortment of seasonal flowers and greenery (dependent on availability). You’ll learn the wili style (pronounced "vee-lee" meaning to wind or twist) to make your Lei Po’o.

Your teacher is award-winning San Diego lei maker Margery Ohlson (@leibymargery). She’ll share information about how to prepare the materials and prolong the life of your Lei Po’o. She will talk about lei culture and lei etiquette, all while Hawaiian music plays softly in the background.

We’ll be in our open classroom in the shade. This is a rain-or-shine event.
