The Honolulu Printmakers organization is offering a two-day workshop on Molokai led by artist Tamara Moan that will teach participants how to construct an accordion-spine flag book using stencil prints for the page designs. The workshop will be held on March 21 and 22 at the American Savings building in Kaunakakai.

Why it matters

This workshop provides a unique opportunity for Molokai residents to learn a specialized book-making technique and create their own sculptural flag books with custom stencil artwork. It aligns with the island's growing arts and culture scene and builds on the work of local organizations like Honolulu Printmakers to bring creative workshops to the community.

The details

During the workshop, participants will first build a prototype book form with blank pages to get familiar with the construction. They will then design their own stencils, practice stenciling and stippling techniques, and assemble a final flag book incorporating their custom artwork. The workshop covers essential skills like measurement, cutting, and assembly needed to create this unique accordion-style book format.

  • The workshop will be held on Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22, 2026 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
