Tucked away at 307 Lewers Street, Hale Hana Waikiki workshops offer something you won't find anywhere else in Honolulu – authentic Hawaiian craft experiences that connect you directly to island traditions. Open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm, this creative hub transforms visitors into artisans through six hands-on workshops that celebrate Hawaii's cultural heritage.
The Resin Art Experience stands out as their signature offering. During this 2-hour session, you'll craft ocean-inspired artwork on surfboard, honu (turtle), or Hawaiian island shapes. Want to make it extra special? Add sand laying for $5 or shell accents for $3. Your masterpiece takes 1 day to harden (2 days to fully harden), so plan for pickup or hotel delivery (additional charge). Note that two people cannot make one piece of work, and this is not a lesson to teach wave techniques.
For something quicker, the Sand Art Gel Candle Making workshop welcomes all ages for an hour of creative fun, layering colorful sand and beach treasures into beautiful keepsakes. The Hawaiian Bag Making Experience goes deeper into tradition, teaching you "Ohe Kapala" wooden stamp techniques while crafting tote bags that tell Hawaii's story. Prices vary depending on the type of bag.
Their most exclusive workshop focuses on Sunrise Shell Necklace creation – working with shells so rare they're found only in Hawaiian waters. This intimate 1-hour experience accommodates just 4 people (minimum 1 participant) and offers three pricing tiers: basic necklace making using hypoallergenic gold fill, K24 pure gold shell processing, or the full combined experience.
The Snow Globe Making Experience rounds out these Hale Hana Waikiki workshops offerings, where you can create rainbow domes using your own beach finds or their provided materials.
Everything requires advance reservations (they're closed Sundays), and workshops run 1-2 hours depending on your choice. Each sunrise shell creation is truly one-of-a-kind thanks to the organic materials involved.
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Monday through Saturday)
