Kapa Dyes from Native Plants with Lisa Schattenburg-Raymond & Lei Ishikawa (Live Webinar)
Saturday, August 14th | 9am–11am
This workshop is FULL. Email info@mnbg.org to join the waitlist.
Join Lisa and Lei in a master class as they share their extensive Hawaiian dye knowledge. In this live webinar participants will take a deeper dive, with more detailed information, and new research than was provided in previous workshops. Lisa and Lei will share their innovative processing techniques and unpublished research on select plants with demonstrations on harvesting, processing, and application of the resulting dyes as well as information on natural additives and fixatives used to manipulate color. These dyes are traditional for kapa (Hawaiian barkcloth) but can also be used for other materials.
Cost: $25 for current MNBG members, $50 for new members. Click here to download a registration form.
Lā ‘Ulu 2021 (Breadfruit Day!)
Lā ‘Ulu Breadfruit Day has been postponed.
COVID-19 cases, especially the Delta variant, are currently at their highest numbers on Maui and in our state since the beginning of the pandemic. Maui is also the least vaccinated county, at 55%. The County of Maui has decided that, for public safety, the 2021 Lā ‘Ulu Breadfruit Day event scheduled for September 4 must be limited to 100-150 participants. For comparison, the 2019 Lā ‘Ulu event had an attendance of 2,000. Because of this, we have decided to postpone all scheduled 2021 Lā ‘Ulu activities, both virtual and in-person. If you can, please get vaccinated! Check back here for the new date.
