An Authentic and Creative Touch in Maui: The UV Resin Jewelry Set Workshop
If you’re looking to add a handcrafted, personal touch to your Maui memories, the UV Resin Jewelry Set Workshop offers an engaging way to do just that. For about an hour and a half, you’ll be guided by Yulia, a talented artist, through the process of making three custom jewelry pieces—be it earrings, pendants, or keychains. Located at Paia, this hands-on experience costs $129 per person and is suitable for nearly all ages and skill levels.
What we love about this experience is primarily the creative freedom it provides. You get to choose from a variety of shapes and materials, including dried flowers, glitter, gold leaf, and even tiny fruits or berries, to craft truly unique pieces. The fact that all supplies are included makes it straightforward—you just show up ready to get your hands sticky and your imagination flowing. Another highlight is the opportunity to take home your finished jewelry the same day, which makes this a practical souvenir or gift idea.
A potential consideration is that the workshop is relatively short—at 1 hour 30 minutes, it’s a quick burst of creativity. For those who want a more in-depth or leisurely crafting experience, this might feel a bit brisk. Also, since it’s a small group setting (max 12 travelers), it’s best suited for those who prefer a more intimate, focused environment.
This tour is ideal if you’re someone who enjoys hands-on creative activities and wants to make personalized keepsakes while in Maui. It’s especially good for families with kids aged 4 and up, friends looking for a fun shared activity, or anyone wanting a meaningful, artsy souvenir they made themselves.

Starting Point: The Charm of Paia and the Workshop Location
The experience begins in Paia, a laid-back town known for its bohemian vibe and creative spirit. Meeting at 24 Luna Ln, you’ll find yourself in a cozy, welcoming environment ideal for artistic pursuits. This setting complements the relaxed, hands-on nature of the workshop. The location itself isn’t just a place to learn jewelry-making; it’s part of the charm of the whole Maui experience.
What You Can Expect During the Workshop
The workshop is designed to be approachable whether you’re new to jewelry-making or have some crafting experience. Yulia’s guidance ensures you are comfortable working with UV resin, which cures quickly under a UV light, allowing you to see your creations come together in no time. You’ll learn to embed dried flowers, glitter, and gold leaf into the resin, creating a stunning visual effect that captures the natural beauty of Maui flora.
Participants typically choose to make a combination of earrings, pendants, and keychains. The variety of shapes—round, triangle, oval, or heart—means you can craft either matching sets or three distinct pieces, tailored to your taste.
The Supplies and Technique
All high-quality UV resin and a wide variety of botanicals are provided, which means the focus is on your creativity rather than hunting for materials. The resin, being clear and glossy, offers a professional finish, and the inclusion of dried flowers gives your jewelry a natural, almost organic feel. Glitter and gold leaf add a touch of sparkle and elegance. You might even incorporate tiny fruits or berries, adding an unexpected twist.
Yulia will teach you how to mix and pour the resin, use the UV light correctly, and attach findings like earring hoops or keychain hooks. The process is straightforward but rewarding, giving you a real sense of accomplishment as you see your designs take shape.
