Step through a painted bamboo gate on a warm Paia afternoon and the Pacific’s colors arrive before the resin does: wind-creased blues, white-froth highlights, and the slow hush of palms. Kai Luna Creations occupies a green-and-white house on Baldwin Avenue where island music and the scent of tropical fruit set a relaxed pace for a hands-on art session.

Step through a painted bamboo gate on a warm Paia afternoon and the Pacific’s colors arrive before the resin does: wind-creased blues, white-froth highlights, and the slow hush of palms. Kai Luna Creations occupies a green-and-white house on Baldwin Avenue where island music and the scent of tropical fruit set a relaxed pace for a hands-on art session.
Paia’s history as a plantation town and windsurfing hub feeds the creative current here; local artists have long drawn from Maui’s volcanic geology and coastal reefs for color and form. The resin coasters you’ll make echo those threads — pigment layers that mimic wave breakers, reef shadows, and beach sand. The instructor guides small groups (max 8) through mixing, pouring, and sealing techniques in a 90-minute class, then applies a clear topcoat; allow two days for final curing before pickup.
Practically: the studio is stroller-accessible and welcomes service animals; it’s not recommended for pregnant travelers due to resin fumes. Bring a camera for progress shots, wear clothing you don’t mind splattering, and allow time to park on Anohou Street. Paia’s north-shore breezes and sun can be strong if you arrive early, so pack sun protection for the walk from your car.
The experience balances craft instruction with aloha hospitality — snacks and island drinks are provided, and BYOB is allowed. Whether you want a personalized memento or a tactile way to remember Maui’s seas, this workshop yields a usable, glossy set of four coasters and a clearer sense of how island color translates into layered resin art.
The class runs about 90 minutes; the studio applies a protective topcoat, and pieces require approximately two days to fully cure before pickup.
The studio is stroller-accessible and can accommodate families, but children should be supervised around resin; the activity is suitable for a wide range of ages.
Island drinks and snacks are provided and you may BYOB if you prefer; inform the host of any allergies when booking.
Full refunds are available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time; classes may be canceled for bad weather or other conditions.
