Umeke Making-Workshop
KAHĀ hosted a hands-on workshop celebrating the history, cultural significance, and craftsmanship of the Hawaiian ʻumeke, a traditional vessel symbolizing knowledge and wisdom.
Participants explored traditional materials, learned techniques for creating and caring for ʻumeke, and practiced making kōkō, the woven carrying net used to protect these vessels.
Through storytelling and hands-on learning, the workshop strengthened connections to ʻike Hawaiʻi, celebrated Hawaiian craftsmanship, and helped preserve ancestral knowledge for future generations.
