Hui No’eau Visual Arts Center Maui is operated from this
charming building located in the historical ranching town of Makawao right on the side
of the volcano, Haleakala. Today, Makawao is a vibrant community of artists and artisans whose work is available in numerous shops and galleries that line its character-rich streets. While we are
on the island, I’ve enrolled in a metalsmithing course that will improve and
expand my skills and designs working with wire and sheet metals. I’ll be cutting, drilling and piercing
metals, learning various soldering techniques and most exciting of all, bezel
setting stones! I am SO looking forward to this! They also offer some great photography classed which I'm considering as well. And, I can’t wait to meet some
members of the local art community!

The college is about 35 minutes from our place which is
quite convenient. I could travel the
distance by highway, if I choose, BUT, part of the island culture is to slow
down and take your time – so, I think I will take the longer route along the
north shore through Pa'ia, a little surf town and enjoy the sights and sounds of the
Maui mornings…inspiring, I think.
Stay tuned as I will post photos of my progress (I’m
optimistic there will be some J) and the scenery along the way!
Oh Karon...love the lifestyle there! My son and DIL and grandbaby are on Kauai. sigh. Looks like heaven! I would love to take a jewelry making course but I don't dare take on any more projects! :) Your work has a delicacy that I love!
