Description
Woodturning in Hawaiʻi: A Rich Hawaiian Tradition
Native Hawaiians have been carving wooden bowls for centuries. Originally, these skilled artisans shaped the wood using tools made from coral, lava, pumice stone, and sometimes, shark or stingray skins to finish the surfaces. The result was the highly prized ‘umeke lā‘au. Today, the tradition lives on in Hawaii’s woodturners using modern lathes and metal tools. Their work can be seen in art galleries, hotels, and museums throughout Hawaiʻi. Join us for a special evening with Mark Stebbins of the Big Island Woodturners as he shares the tools, skills, and examples of beautiful ‘umeke. Program co-sponsored by Friends of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Park entrance fees apply.
