Art with Aloha "Talk Story" & Demonstration with Mele Chun

Thursday, 1 day
November 10 / 9:00 – 11:00 am

Stop by and “talk story” with third generation feather work artist Mele Kahalepuna Chun of Na Lima Mili Hulu No‘eau! We encourage you to ask questions as you watch Aunty Mele work on some of her own featherwork creations right before your eyes. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the beautiful art of both traditional and contemporary Hawaiian featherwork. 

Art with Aloha programs in 2016 are supported in part by the County of Maui and Hawai‘i Tourism Authority and through generous donations from “Raise the Paddle” at Art Affair 2016. Mahalo for your support!

Mele Kahalepuna Chun

Mele Kahalepuna Chun started learning featherwork at the early age of 5 from her tutu, “Aunty” Mary Louise Kaleonahenahe Wentworth Peck Kekuewa, a renowned feather lei master. Mele taught classes and workshops along side her tutu and mom, Paulette Nohealani Kahalepuna, and gave talks, lectures, and ran workshops for them when they were not available. Today, Mele carries on her family legacy, runs the family shop Na Lima Mili Hulu No‘eau with great pride and knows that her tutu and mom are with her every step of the way. Mele still has her first lei hulu in her Kapahulu store! featherlegacy.com
