fishschool

Their full moon markets are SUCH a vibe! The whole aesthetic of their school is a dream for someone who loves art in all its forms (I love art so haha). I wish the full moon market always fell on a day where it was near a weekend because that would be fun and no work the next day. I also really love how they have pop-ups there so that you can try different foods every week. Definitely a super fun place to just walk around and take in all the art around you.

What a school concept!!I just can't understand why no one has started a review of this place other than keeping it a secret perhaps!? Well it isn't because as soon as they post a class it almost instantly sells out. Yes you certainly need to follow them on Instagram @fishschoolhawaii to stay in the know of the latest classes and/or activities as the randomness they offer is truly something to behold.Located in the back room of Fishcake a cool fun furnishing place, fishschool is exactly that a gathering learning place to broaden your horizon to endless possibilities and many classes are on the weekend though they do offer some in the evening after Fishcake is closed I did find something that really interested me though many did but listed in the June classes was "Easy, Peasy, Tapestreezy" by Ayako Takao.This class is creating a personal loom out of recyclable cardboard to create your own unique tapestry using any items you have lurking around your home. All tools are provided and we used yarn though they do encourage us to bring our own strips of old shirts, strings, pompoms or even trinkets which is cool as I already was dreaming up of what I can make.Ayako was great making sure each of us understand it all step by step and it was quite easy to create your loom and with the amount of yarn I've accumulated during the quarantine shut down (I go nuts doing nothing for days) I just love adding more creative way to utilize an item and have learned so much as we were welcome to ask any questions and was shown different weaves, that's there nothing you can't do to make it all your own.Thank you!!

I took two classes with fishschool. Traditional Japanese book binding with Alan, and Textured flower painting with John. The instructors were super friendly and helpful and prepared all of the materials needed for our art projects. Excellent for all levels! For many of us it was our first time doing these types of art and we learned a lot. There were also some who have had some experience. Overall I had a 10/10 time. Great way to get out there and have a good time with friends while making new ones and release all of your stress from the week
