There are a total of 18 classes with most of the Kumus teaching 2 different classes. Kumu Blaine Kia and Kumu Mike Kop each teach one, while Kumu Tuti Kanahele teaches 4 language classes. Most workshops run between 1.5 to 2 hours. The crafts class is edited down to about 40 minutes, but shows each step of the process...
