About

A non-profit organization that promotes and preserves fine craftsmanship in the Hawaiian Islands.

Our mission

Preserving fine craft for the next generation.

Hawai‘i Craftsmen is a non-profit organization that promotes and preserves fine craftsmanship in the Hawaiian Islands through educational programs, exhibitions, and events showcasing its members’ talents.

Skills in clay, wood, fiber, metal and glass pass from hand to hand. Our workshops and exhibitions keep that exchange going on every island.
