Einstein once said, “once you stop learning, you start dying,” and I definitely agree; learning is a lifelong project, and luckily, after we have graduated from school, we aren’t limited to math and history. With lessons in everything from cooking local food to skydiving, you have the opportunity to learn some pretty cool skills in Hawaii, including learning one of Hawaii’s greatest art forms: lei making.
Nestled on the slopes of Haleakala in the upcountry area of Makawao, Haku Maui specializes in custom, hand-crafted Haku Leis, also known as floral crowns, for a variety of celebrations.
From weddings, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, and anniversaries to birthdays, graduations, baby showers, and more, these leis are truly works of arts.
And while you can certainly simply just purchase a breathtaking lei for a special occasion of your own — or even just because — there’s little better than learning how to make a traditional Hawaiian Haku lei of your own during one of their exclusive Haku bars and workshops.
Whether you are looking to treat your guests to a beautifully hand-crafted Lei Bar or attend a workshop t learn how to create your very own Haku Lei from start to finish, this Maui floral shop is as dreamy as it gets.
In addition to offering 10 one-of-a-kind private lei bars and workshops that start at just $22 per person, Haku Maui also hosts a variety of unique events throughout the year at their studio in Makawao.
If you've ever wanted to make your own authentic Hawaiian leis, organize a private workshop of your own or attend one of the ones offered by Haku Maui. You won't be disappointed.
Haku Maui is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information about their leis, as well as their workshops and classes, visit their website. You can also follow them on Facebook. Tell us, do you make your own leis or purchase them from a studio like Haku Maui?
