The Faun’s Daughter, a boutique nursery at 517 N. La Cienega in West Hollywood, is hosting a Pua Hawaiian Marketplace from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 25.

The Marketplace will feature second generation lei maker Duane Puhi, who was born in Honoka’a and raised in Waimea Hawaii on Hawaii Island. Growing up he helped his Tutu Wahine (grandmother) sew lei in the *ku’i style. Her specialty was the colorful akulikuli lei.

Through hula he was taught another style called wili (twisting method) used in hula kaiko and hula auna, apprenticing under master lei makers and hula teachers Kumu Hula Jason, Debbie Costa and Buzzy Histo.

Puhi will be teaching traditional Hawaiian lei-making workshops at noon and 4 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $100 per person and can be reserved by visiting thefaunsdaughter.com or by calling 424-469-7263.
