It was delightful to see JB Rea's warm smile as he showed off the Hui Noeau's new jewelry studio. It is a nice move from a leaky, dark and cramped pantry behind the kitchen. This dedicated teacher and master jeweler, now has a spacious full functioning space to teach and marvel at the view.
Each student will have workstations with torchs, good lighting and ventilation. Plus there are special areas for casting, enameling, stone and cutting edge work like hydrolic forming. The studio is light and airy with incredible views from every direction. JB rattled off a list of a dozen types of classes they will have to offer and heaped praise on the other teachers that have joined him over the last several years, Julie Matheis and Jaisy Hanlon.
It took over 5 years to complete the studio. JB was ecstatic about the many people that made this possible include its namesakes Ginny and Art McCoy and Gage Schubert, an unwavering patron of the arts on the island.
Join JB Rea and the rest of the staff for a studio blessing Friday May 30th from 4-6pm. The Hui No'eau is located at 2841 Baldwin Avenue in Makawao. For more information call (808) 572-6560. www.huinoeau.com
