Engraving Demonstration by Hawaiian Artist Scott Kekuhaupi'o Manley
Saturday, May 11, 1-3pm
Included with regular museum admission
The Slate Valley Museum will welcome Hawaiian artist Scott Kekuhaupi'o Manley for slate engraving demonstration.
Manley, who hails from Honolulu, creates hand engravings of historical, ancestral, and contemporary art onto slate. He makes his art with tiles that were transported from the Slate Valley in 1927 to roof Kawaiaha'o Church, an historic church in Honolulu. The tiles became available when the roof was replaced several years ago. Manley acquired hundreds of tiles at that time and has been engraving ever since.
Come and see Manley's demo from 1-3pm. Visitors will be welcomed to try engraving themselves. Some small slate pieces will be available at the museum, but people are welcome to bring their own slate pieces to create on as well.
