Lei in Hawai'i or Hei in Tahiti is a handmade adornment given as a sentiment to a loved one. Lei are typically woven using natural twine to bind ferns and flowers, and rest on your po'o (head) or 'a'i (neck), carrying with it the love of the lei-maker.  At T.O. our students and instructors practice traditional lei and costume-making passed down by our teachers. Both the fresh and artificial lei below will be made using lei wili (entwining) techniques.
