The art of lei making welcomes all with this traditional method used in the South Pacific Polynesian Islands as a traditional piece to celebrate & honor loved ones. This workshop is a part of our New Americans series instructed by local Utah artisan Kamie Afo-Aiono of Porch Paradise. In this class, Kamie will guide attendees through the process of crafting & braiding a stunning lei alongside the connection between this craft and her culture. Attendees will leave with a gorgeous fresh floral crown! As part of this six-part series, Craft Lake City is offering three full scholarships to each New American workshop based on financial need. Beginners are welcome and all supplies are provided.

Red Butte Garden and Craft Lake City are collaborating to bring family-friendly botanical art and life science together, using the photo-sensitive nature of chlorophyll to build a deeper understanding of the natural world through organic print-making. This workshop will be instructed and lead by Craft Lake City STEM Manager Lyndi Perry and Red Butte Garden Educator Jasmine Millard. Lyndi has a Master’s degree in bioregional planning and enjoys exploring the unique cross section between creativity and science, technology, engineering and math and creating learning experiences for all ages as part of her position at Craft Lake City. Jasmine graduated from the University of Utah dual majoring in Geography and Environmental and Sustainability Studies. She has since used her knowledge of the natural world being an environmental educator, working with children and adults throughout the state of Utah.
