Join Wesley Sen as he guides us on how to make a Lauhala anthurium, a perfect handmade Valentines Day gift!

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’s 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 Loʻi O Kānewai back of UH Hawaiian studies.
