Learn the hands-on techniques behind a traditional Hawaiian lei poʻo in this immersive flower arrangement class that travels to you within thirty miles of Honolulu! Rather than assembling a premade flower crown, you’ll work with fresh wiliwili and other island materials to build your own lei poʻo from the ground up. The workshop is an approachable introduction to traditional floral techniques while giving you the chance to create something you can wear and enjoy.
Your instructor will guide you through selecting and preparing stems and foliage before teaching you how to create the crown’s base using traditional braiding and binding techniques. You’ll then learn how to layer color, texture, and greenery so your design feels balanced and intentional. Finally, you’ll finish and secure your lei poʻo for a comfortable fit that stays in place.
No previous floral experience is needed. Whether you’re looking to learn how to make a flower crown, bachelorette party ideas, or in-office team-building activities, you’ll leave wearing your handmade lei poʻo and with a deeper understanding of the traditional process behind its creation!

I spent years working IT and help desk before I found floral design, and it gave me back the creative outlet I didn't know I was missing. I learned on the job at a local flower shop, not in a classroom: about six years total, with about a year in between at a second shop, building arrangements on deadline for customers who cared whether the work held up, not whether I could explain the theory behind it.
Most people think floral design is just putting flowers in a vase. It's not! There's real structure and technical skill behind an arrangement that looks effortless: getting stems to hold a shape, knowing how to care for flowers, knowing which combinations actually work together. That's usually the first thing people are surprised by once they try it themselves.
Teaching is a newer part of my practice, and I'm building it deliberately. I love the moment a student stops asking "am I doing this right" and starts trusting their own eye. That shift is why I teach.
