Thursdays 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

In Hawaiian, the gourd is otherwise described as ipu. It is mostly used to produce kani (sound) for mele (song) and hula (dance). The ipu heke 'ole (ipu with no top gourd) is a drum-like instrument made from bottle shaped gourds cut off at the neck and is slapped during dance. Great for hula dancers or those who simply want to make their own instrument.
