The Mendonca Building's Courtyard will be open for
April Fools Day.... But without any April Fools jokes! Featured will

CELIA FRASIER: Born and raised on
Maui's North Shore in plantation times, Celia was surrounded with the
vibrancy of Hawaii's beauty and the "Lucky come Hawaii!!" attitude of
immigrants. Anyone seeing the body of her work...quilts, wall hangings,
table runners...is struck by just that: vibrant color and movement which
often showcase Hawaiian and Asian fabrics and aspects of the Hawaiian life she
loves.
Selling at craft fairs, first on Maui and currently on Oahu, allows her to show prospective clients her workmanship and invite them to commission what they need in exactly the size and colors they want. You can also check out her work on her website: celiasquiltsmaui.com.

STUDIOBIJOUXHAWAII will be represented
by owners, Bill and Kihwa with a sample of work from their studio in
Kaimuki. They are also known for their Open Studio and Children’s
jewelry classes. Kihwa was raised in Kyung Ju, South Korea, renowned
for the beauty of the jewelry it produced. Growing up in this environment,
KiHwa was heavily influenced by these treasures from the past. She moved
to Japan and graduated from the prestigious Hiko Mizuno College of
Jewelry. Determined to learn more, KiHwa made the move to the United
States to continue her study of gemology in San Diego and eventually to
Hawaii.
NILMA HUNTER: Originally from
Brazil, Nilma discovered her love for jewelry designing about 4 years ago; she
quit her job of 12 years in a hotel on the North Shore and dedicated her time to
this new love. Self taught and motivated by Phil 4:13, she designs and
handcrafts unique ocean inspired pieces with mostly earth friendly silver
(reclaimed from old electronic equipment and other resources) and other
sustainable mediums such as sea glass and shells found on beaches and Golden
Grass (naturally recurring in the central area of Brazil). She also tries to
keep the crochet and knit art her mother taught her alive in her jewelry using
thin wire to create one of a kind pieces. Nilma enjoys de challenge of custom
orders, giving you the opportunity to design your own piece. Her most popular
item is her inspirational words stamped discs, which are also
customizable. Finger printing on silver is a great way to keep your loved
ones near your heart, stop by her table to check it out! You can also find out
more on www.nilmahuntercreations.com.
ALESSANDRA JANN-JORDAN: Long Lost
Treasures is an individually run hand crafted jewelry and cards business based
on Oahu, Hawaii. Every jewelry design is hand made using semi-precious stones,
fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystallized elements, vintage coral, a variety of
metals, and hand glass blown beads – all collected from the
designer’s travels around the world. The greeting cards are created with
layers of beautiful hand crafted papers, originating from countries as
Korea, France and Italy. The cards are one of a kind and irreproducible, as the
vintage elements used to decorate them are unique, recycled and
often antique.
Not to be disappointed if you are looking for good
food, you will find ELGIN ONAGA in the Courtyard Gate. He
will be offering his North Shore ISLAND KABOBS for sale all
evening. Along with meat and chicken, he has a veggie version as
well.
FRED GAYAGAS will return for First
Friday with his mix of Hawaiian and contemporary music. He welcomes you to
participate with a spontaneous hula if you are so inclined.
His music will be wafting from the upstairs windows. Look
up!
“Resident artists” KRIS GOTO
and CHEYNE GALLARDE will be upstairs in the Chinatown Artist
Lofts, and will have their studios open for a look at their newest
creations.
The actual Courtyard and the Maunakea doors will be
closed due to construction, but the 2nd floor will be open for viewing.
Enter the Smith Street door and continue upstairs to the Lofts. Our
large display will be in the room at the top of the stairs. This
event is free and open to the public.
