Beginners Hawaiian Quilt Pattern Workshop

About this class

Poakalani Hawaiian Quilting, one of the most respected keepers of traditional Hawaiian quilt artistry in the islands, offers a beginners workshop covering the design principles and cutting technique used to create the distinctive large-scale snowflake-style patterns that define Hawaiian quilting. Students learn how the geometric symmetry is built through the folding and cutting method and how the resulting cutwork applique is attached to the background fabric, which are the two fundamental skills that underpin all Hawaiian quilt work. The studio is family-run by masters of the form and deeply committed to cultural preservation.
