BRYSON TABANIAG - Poepoe Lei Workshop @ ISLANDBOY

Have you ever wanted to make a lei but didn’t have flowers on hand? This month, explore the beauty of using leaves instead! Join us for a special lei-making workshop with Lei Designer Bryson Tabaniag.

In this hands-on session, you’ll create your own lei using carefully selected materials—from native plants like Koa to everyday foliage—highlighting how native and accessible resources can be transformed into something beautiful.

The focus will be on the kui poepoe style: a strung, rounded, and compact technique that builds texture, depth, and layered detail.

You’ll leave with a lei that is not only visually stunning but also rich with meaning, rooted in tradition, and uniquely your own.

Please note, you must park on the street when participating in workshops at Island-Boy. Mahalo!

LOCATION: ISLAND-BOY Kaimuki. Please be advised that this workshop is hosted in our classroom up a flight of stairs with no elevator access.
