Big Beach Makena Maui Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
At the end of the Wailea coast road, where pavement runs out and Makena State Park begins. Gold sand for two-thirds of a mile, and a cinder cone at the north end called Pu'u Olai, weathered red where the trade winds work it. The Hawaiian name, Oneloa, means long sand. The shore break is famous and serious; people watch it more than they swim it. Mornings are best, before the wind comes up off the leeward channel. A beach the state has kept undeveloped since the early 1980s.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
