Join Puppets on the Path as they celebrate The Sounds of Niaulani through a special blend of original music and puppetry representing the native rainforest in Volcano. The performance will be on March 23, at 3 pm. in Varez Hall at Volcano Art Center Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village (19-4074 Old Volcano Road).
Puppets on the Path began as a special program at the Volcano Art Center in 1983. The production has grown to entertain audiences in schools, museums, shopping centers and sciences conventions statewide, and beyond. Their original stories of songs and puppets through the years have protrayed both marine and forest ecosystems of Hawaiʻi, from coral reefs to the rainforests.
The Sounds of Niaulani celebrates the Niaulani Forest trail, where Ka ʻApapane sings of her life among the hāpuʻu ferns and ʻōhiʻa trees, and where young mamaki and ʻōhelo plants sing as they grow from a rainforest nurse log. This special blend of nature, science, music and puppetry is the hallmark of the Puppets on the Path productions which continue to bring “edutainment” to audiences of all ages.
Puppeteers and musicians include Kate Schuerch, Loren Brownlea and Dina Kageler. This free family-friendly theater production is a part of the 50th Year Anniversary celebration for the Volcano Art Center, and is sponsored in part by a grant from the Atherton Foundation of Hawai`i.

Pen Sketching & Watercolor Washes with Patti Pease Johnson
Saturday, April 13, 2024, from 9 am – 12:30 pm at VAC Niaulani Campus in Volcano, Village.
Learn mixed media line and wash technique on 6 x 9” watercolor paper and create 2 paintings in the 3 ½ hour session. “It’s a great size for journal travel recording for lively illustrative looks,” says instructor Patti Pease Johnson. This workshop is a chance for beginners and intermediate students to experiment with simplified line exaggerations and painting outside the lines. All materials are supplied so it gives a person a chance to see if this is their creativity spark before investing in the materials.
“Simple line drawing for the outside of objects is what it’s about,” says Patti. “Make it a suggestion of the object. Draw and paint loosely. For example, no need to complete the leaf outside edge, have a closed petal on a flower, or a tree with full branches. White space is good, chant it when you begin painting,”
Your intuition and playful attitude are part of this journey. First is a discussion by looking at many samples and asking the question: is it about drawing vs. color? Students then practice the minimal drawing first on newsprint from looking at a simple still-life setup. Then it is redrawn on the watercolor paper, and outlined suggestively with the permanent black fine-tip pen. Students learn a pen hashing technique for the darkest darks and cast shadows; plus learn watercolor techniques of washes, blending, glazing, dry brush, and lift-off. A 4-page handout with a basic 10-step procedure lets you remember the steps.
Patti Pease Johnson has been a working artist for 27 years and a teacher of various mediums including two other watercolor techniques, soft pastel still life, and Plein air landscapes. Her workshops for painting on silk using liquid dye and wax resist. She has had artwork in numerous juried shows and has collectors in many parts of the world through gallery sales around the state of Hawaii.
The cost is $75/$70 for VAC members, plus $10 supply fee, and a $5 registration fee. For more information call (808) 967-8222.

Volcano Art Center’s Hula Arts at Kīlauea 2024 performance series continues Saturday, June 8th with a presentation by Hālau Hula Malanai under the direction of Kumu Hula Liana Leiʻilima Kanaʻiaupuni Aveiro. The performance begins at 10:30am at the pā hula in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Although, the event is free, Park entrance fees apply.
Hālau Hula Malanai is an offshoot of Hālau Hula Ka Noʻeau. Kumu Liana studied under Master Kumu Hula Michael Pili Pang for more than 20 years, graduating as a Kumu Hula through traditional uniki ceremony, and passage. Hālau Hula Malanaiʻs hula geneology comes from na master Kumu Hula Auntie Maiki Aiu Lake and Auntie Mae Kamamalu Klein, dating back to the Royal Court Hula dancers. Kumu Liana continues to perpetuate the traditions and distinct “hula kuʻi styling in both the hula kahiko and hula auwana that has been passed down through generations from Auntie Maiki.
Kumu Liana supports and instills the importance of sharing hula at annual events including Huliheʻe Palace, the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, Maunalani’s Honu Release, Waimea Keiki Festival, May Day Celebrations, the Ukulele Festival, and many others. She believes that sharing storytelling through hula is a responsibility as a kumu hula within the community. Using the phrase “Hula is life” reflects her hula roots, genealogy, and goals for her halau.
Hālau Hula Malanai is located at Konoho Kuahiwi in the uplands of Waimea with haumana ranging from age 4 to adult women. Hālau Hula Malanaiʻs name was given by Kumu Hula Pili Pang and takes us to one of their core Hula auwana “Waika.” Located in this area, Hālau Hula Malanai carries the name of the distinct Breeze that is clean, cool, and refreshing. A breeze that promotes love on many different levels.
These free events are supported by donations from members of the Volcano Art Center. Donations are welcome to continue future programs. In case of extreme weather, there is a possibility that the performance will be moved indoors to the Kīlauea Visitors Center Auditorium where seating is limited.

Join Mary Milelzcik at Volcano Art Centerʻs Niaulani Campus (19-4074 Old Volcano Road) on Saturday, June 22, from 10am – 2:30pm for the Mixed Media Ecaustics workshop. Beginners – Advanced are welcome.
Encaustic is a mixture of beeswax, damar resin and pigment, which is applied to a solid absorbent surface. Each time a new layer is applied, it must be fused. The layers can be enhanced by adding fine art papers, carving with tools or drawing with pigment, oil sticks etc. Photographs can be transferred, and other materials embedded to create a variety of amazing results with depth and luminosity.
This is a hands-on workshop, where you’ll learn safe studio practices, encaustic painting basics, how to make your own medium, and set up an inexpensive encaustic studio. Various encaustic techniques, photo transfer, and shellac burns will be demonstrated. After instruction and experimenting, you will have the opportunity to create two encaustic paintings to take home with you. Mary will provide encaustic paints, panels, and handmade paper to use as substrates, an assortment marking tools and brushes, and interesting papers, photographs, minerals, fibers, and other natural and found materials for students to incorporate into their paintings. Students are encouraged to bring other items they’d like to use.
Students with special projects or questions should email Mary in advance. The class fee is $70/$65 for VAC members plus a $55 supply fee. To register, call Volcano Art Center at 808-967-8222 or visit www.volcanoartcenter.org. Space is limited.
