Kona Town Hui LLC — Attraction in Hawaii

Not sure if I should leave this review for Kona Town Hui or Pokela Studio, so I’ll leave it for both :) I loved meeting Stephanie and Apo on my recent trip to the Big Island! They were gracious enough with their time to give me the studio tour, and I got to learn a lot about each of them.

As artists themselves, they’re immensely talented, and the space they’ve cultivated within their community emanates with their passion to help others learn, create, and celebrate together.
