Processing Lau Hala for Ulana (Weaving) with Gail Kuba
New Date: Saturday, October 7| 9am to 12:30pm

This hands-on class will show how to select, harvest, de-thorn, process, including a process to “bleach” green lau into cream color; and strip lau hala leaves for weaving. The class will end with making a simple 3-strand kūpe‘e (bracelet) and start a 5-strand to finish on your own.

Gail Kuba is a retired public and private school teacher, and a weaver who has been working with lau hala since 2000. She learned from gifted Kumu like Uncle Frank Masagatani, Aunty Ku‘ulei Haina of Hana, Uncle Wes Sen and now Pōhaku Kaho‘ohanohano. Kuba is also a lei flower grower and lei maker, a kapa maker and studies lā‘au lapa‘au. All these studies inform her work.
