Live Aloha Festival @ the Seattle Center
Saturday, September 10 from 12:30pm PDT to 3pm PDT
We are so excited to offer workshops during our time in Seattle. For those of you who are new to the Kākou Collective hui, Aloha! Please feel free to tell us where youʻre from in the comments below and connect with us on Instagram @KakouCollective. We love connecting with our community and cultivating opportunities to share and learn. If youʻve been following us since 2020 - Mahalo piha. We are so grateful for your support and are excited to come to Seattle and finally meet you in person!
Throughout this 2.5 hour workshop, we will learn the basics of lettering. We will be utilizing various pens to form basic strokes and turning them into letters to practice what many call Modern Calligraphy using a method called Fauxligraphy (because we are not using specialty nib tools used in Calligraphy).
In addition to learning how to letter the basic strokes to create letters and words, we hope to cultivate a space in which we can have meaningful conversation about fostering and creating a positive space in our lives to normalize ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi.
We will also be ending the workshop with a fun make and take project where we will create a card and gift tag. Iʻm a firm believer that art is meant to be shared and enjoyed, so we hope that perhaps you will create something youʻre proud of and would love to share with someone special.
