Sunday June 14, 10am-1pm
Come make botanical prints at Pālehua using just sun, plants, cyanotype paper, and water under the guidance of Andrew Mau and Courtney Monahan! A small guided walk around the cabins of Pālehua will lend itself to collecting botanical specimen used for printing, for which you will compose creative layouts using your found flowers and foliage. After exposure to sunlight, the paper can be dried and framed or glued with Japanese Rice Paste to our Pālehua notecards. Between collecting the materials and exposing them, enjoy brunch at the Ossipoff Cabin!
This photographic printing process of cyanotype allows for accurate documentation of flat objects, essentially capturing their shadow as a white print on blue paper. Each attendee will be provided with 10 blank notecards and up to 6 sheets of cyanotype paper.
The 3-hour workshop includes an hour of guided travel up and down the mountain, and 2 hours of instruction. Guests can look forward to refreshments and time to explore Vladimir Ossipoffʻs personal retreat.

Ossipoff Cabin was built in the mid 1950s by Vladimir Ossipoff and restored in 2020 by the Gill ʻohana. The cabinʻs Japanese-inspired style, careful use of local materials, and breathtaking view make for an inspiring setting for workshops.
Andrew Mau + Courtney Monahan are a creative collaboration that brings color, fresh blooms, and joy to Pālehua! Off-mountain, Andrew is the creative force behind Island-Boy in Kaimuki and Mau-House, while Courtney Monahan is co-founder of Paiko and Pua Hana, which offers fresh and unusual botanicals in arrangements and lei that lean towards the contemporary, with a taste of retro.

Limit 15 people per workshop.
Guests must be comfortable carpooling from a meeting point in Makakilo to the remote location.
We encourage 14 years and older for ideal participation. Babies that aren’t yet walking are welcome to join caregivers, but no children under the age of 12. Anyone attending (other than babies) must have a ticket.
