In many cultures across Asia and the Pacific Islands, a handmade necklace is more than just jewelry. It is a symbol of hospitality, honor, and connection. To celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, join us for a creative workshop where we will craft floral garlands and shell-and-charm necklaces. We will explore the traditions of the Polynesian lei and the South Asian mala while creating our own beautiful pieces to take home.
