We’ve got some fun workshops coming up in October! Join us for papermaking with papermaker Allison Roscoe. Learn to laminate flat objects, colored paper (tissue, napkins), dried seeds, cheesecloth, and mesh bags. If you have any of these materials at home and would like to use them in your paper, please bring them. For experienced papermakers, use this time as an open studio to incorporate paper in your art in new ways. Or come and spend a morning connecting with native plants through nature journaling with artist Kate Righter. Express your creativity through drawing, writing, learning facts and creating diagrams, or all 3! Nature Journaling is the creative practice of recording thoughts and observations of the ʻāina using a combination of words, pictures, and numbers. It all begins with stepping outside with paper, writing utensils, and an open mind. All you need to be is curious! Links to register are in our bio! We hope to see you there!! 🤙🏽 We’ve got more coming so make sure to follow us on social media (IG & FB) for more fun classes! #ManoaHeritageCenter #ManoaValley #MaKaHanaKaIkeWorkshops #LearnByDoing #NatureJournaling #Papermaking #OahuWorkshops #HawaiiWorkshops #OctoberWorkshops #BeCreative #HawaiiArtWorkshops #HawaiiPapermaking

Thank you @maskandsnorkel for an amazingly fun workshop!! Participants walked through MHC’s gardens learning about some of the plants and picking some to press 🌺💚 Then in the classroom, Margo showed them how to quick press these plants using an iron. Once pressed (and dried) plants can be used in a variety of ways from gluing them to cardstock to make cards, adding them to journals or scrapbooks, or framing them and using them as decor. The options are endless! Such a great way to incorporate nature’s beauty into your creative endeavors and a relatively inexpensive way too!! Try it at home yourself! #ManoaHeritageCenter #ManoaValley #PressedPlants #NativeHawaiianPlants #MaKaHanaKaIkeWorkshops #BeCreative #CanoePlants

September is Foodland Give Aloha Month! Support MHC when you shop at @foodlandhi, Sack N Save or Foodland Farms stores statewide. Just give them our organization name and number when you check out. Mahalo in Advance!! 💚 #ManoaHeritagecenter #ManoaValley #FoodlandGiveAloha #FoodlandHawaii

In this 2 hour workshop you will have an opportunity to learn about native plants and gather leaves and flowers as you wander through the MHC gardens with Margo. You will then learn how to quickly press them using an iron before transferring to a journal. You can either use the journal as a keepsake, embellishing with information about each plant, or as a place to store the pressed material for later use in cards, bookmarks, or even framed art.
