Interested in New Zealand’s fibre and textile artists?

Find out what they make, what inspires them, and where you can see and purchase their work. They create luxury souvenirs, genuinely and proudly made in New Zealand.

Search the Gallery for wearable art and accessories, textile sculptures and hangings, pictures and items to enhance your office or home décor. Contact the artists directly to purchase or to commission work.

Studio Visits

If you’d like to visit an artist’s studio in Wellington we may be able to organise that for you. Some Bodkinz members also offer a studio visit with a half-day or full-day class.  Please contact us for more information.

Textile Art Workshops

To participate closer to home, check out the artists’ favorite techniques and itineraries or contact them through us to arrange a class in your area.  View our Events and Exhibitions page for information on fairs, exhibitions and workshops around the country. To find a group in your own region, check out Community Groups.

For Fibre and Textile Artists

To extend your networks and find artistic support from your peers, apply for membership of Bodkinz. Display some of your work in the online exhibition and have a personal profile page. Many artists teach or create kits for crafters, you are welcome to detail those in your profile and maybe become an online tutor in the future.
