Leialoha Mahuka – Lauhala Weaver & Cultural Practitioner

Leialoha Mahuka is a dedicated teacher and skilled weaver who is passionate about sharing her knowledge and culture with others. She does all the hard work— harvesting, cleaning, and preparing each piece of lauhala—so that students can fully immerse themselves in weaving.

Leialoha’s workshops offer a meaningful hands-on experience. Participants learn to transform lauhala strips into beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. Whether creating a bracelet to wear with pride or gifting a handmade treasure to a loved one, students leave with a deeper appreciation for this traditional Hawaiian craft.

What's Included:

All materials, including carefully harvested, cleaned, and prepped lauhala, are provided. Each student can make two half-wrapped bangles.

*Sorry, classes are non-refundable.
