Opaekaa Falls Kauai Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
On the east shore of Kauai, the Wailua River bends north into low hills cut by a single cascade. Opaeka'a, the rolling water. The name belongs to the native freshwater shrimp that once tumbled in the white at the base. There is a roadside lookout on Kuamoo Road, a low guardrail, and the falls drop about a hundred and fifty feet to a green pool below. Visitors pull off, look for a minute, and drive on. Across the road, the Wailua bends again toward the sea. The trade winds carry the sound up to the parking lot.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
