NA MEA HAWAI‘I/NATIVE BOOKS

Welcome to a gathering space--workshop, studio and retail.  A place for learning, and making, a place of exchange.  We continue to only feature locally made products alongside culturally grounded practices, and books, CDs and DVDS about Hawai’i and the Pacific.  Please, wander, enjoy, ask questions, make a new friend, come back, often.  There is no hands off area-- we are all hands on. 

Na Mea Hawai’i is a place to talk story, spend time, read a book, have some tea (and awa soon) make something, buy something, support a different way of being in community.  Sign up for classes in STUDIO, don’t miss the wearable art wall, find out what other classes are being offered, what events are coming up.  Enjoy our free WiFi, look at whose in our POP UP spaces and studios, pull up a chair in NOHO, enjoy our out-of-print book section.  This is a Hawaiian place, we are here to share.
