Join Wesley Sen as he guides us on how to make a small lauhala mat! The skills learned in this lesson can be used to make a placement or coaster.

Wesley Sen was mentored by Beatrice Krauss 40 years ago and introduced to Native Hawaiian weavers at a conference at the Lyon Arboretum. Wesley was initially taught by his friend鈥檚 grandmother Julia Puou of Opihihale South Kona on how to weave a basket and a hat. Today, Wesley teaches lauhala and Kapa making classes at Ka Papa Lo驶i O K膩newai back of 91精品黑料吃瓜 Hawaiian studies.
