I have had such a memorable experiences from this very talented local artist! Violet made me a palm leaf hat at an event on my first trip, and it remains a cherished memento in my home. Today at her new gallery and teaching space (congratulations!!!), she taught myself and another woman the artistry of weaving, and we both left with something to be proud of! She's so generous to share what she does. We both really did have so much fun Making baskets and fans. I also got painting instruction from expert watercolor artist Lucia Therese while there, which was an unexpected but welcomed bonus to the day. Go visit Violet during your visit for a truely unique memento made with aloaha (she'll explain)! Made by herself, a variety of featured arts, or even you! Visit her shop, take a class, you won't regret the decision. read more
