Workshop Sessions 5 & 6 (2:00pm - 6:15pm)

This hands-on workshop offers an introduction to the meticulous process of creating Niʻihau shell jewelry. Participants will learn about gathering shells from the beach and sorting shells by shape, size, and color. Next, you will learn how individual shells are cleaned and then drilled to create a specific pattern when sewn. Participants will create a pair of Niʻihau shell earrings to take home.

Please note that this Niʻihau shell workshop has an additional materials fee to cover the earring hardware and precious, authentic Niʻihau shells.

Participants may choose the size of earrings they would like to create:
  • 1-inch earrings: $175
  • 2-inch earrings: $275
  • 3-inch earrings: $375
After you register for the workshop, we will contact you to confirm your preferred earring size and send an invoice for the materials fee. Please complete payment within 48 hours of receiving the invoice, or your seat in the workshop may be released to another participant.

Mahalo for your kōkua and understanding.
