STORY SUMMARY

HILO, Hawaiʻi - The Lyman Museum exhibition and demonstrations of featherwork by Lei Hulu o Hilo runs from May 1st to May 12th.

ARCHIVE: Aunty Doreen Henderson, Kumu Lei Hulu, Honored (Feb. 10, 2019)

(BIVN) – Lei Hulu o Hilo, founded by the late Aunty Doreen Henderson, returns to the Lyman Museum from May 1 through May 12.

From an announcement by the Lyman Museum:

In celebration of Lei Day (and beyond), the Lyman Museum invites you to experience an artistic tradition unique to Hawai‘i as it presents a very special exhibition and demonstrations of featherwork by Lei Hulu o Hilo, from May 1 through May 12.


Lei Hulu o Hilo was founded by the late, beloved Aunty Doreen Henderson, a Hilo native who dedicated her life to the preservation and perpetuation of Hawaiian featherwork, and who practiced and taught the art for several decades prior to her passing last year. She studied under Master Kumu Mary Kahihilani Kovitch, a student of Aunty Mary Lou Kekuewa who is considered one of the foremost featherwork teachers in Hawai‘i. Aunty Doreen’s rigorous teaching standards and love of the art form produced a number of teachers in their own right, two of whom who are bringing this new exhibit to the Hilo community after an absence of several years—and by popular demand!

For two weeks, Lei Hulu o Hilo students and teachers will dazzle visitors to the Museum with an extraordinary, colorful array of finished pieces. Visitors can also watch new creations being made by Lei Hulu o Hilo artists, and may learn how to make a feather flower to keep.

E komo mai!
