Happy Waitangi Day to all our wonderful customers in New Zealand. This special day is a time to honour history, celebrate culture and reflect on unity and community. We are sending our warmest wishes to you as you come together with whānau and friends.
Waitangi Day is observed every year on 6 February. It marks the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, an agreement made between Māori chiefs and representatives of the British Crown. This treaty is considered the founding document of modern New Zealand and recognises the importance of partnership, protection and participation for all peoples of Aotearoa.
As artists and makers we love how deep meaning and story can become part of creative expression. Glass art is no exception. It holds light, colour and emotion all at once. Today we are celebrating Waitangi Day by sharing inspiration for glass projects, tutorials from talented creatives and a special offer just for our New Zealand customers.
If you would like to create something meaningful in your glass studio for Waitangi Day, simple symbolic designs inspired by Aotearoa and its natural beauty can be both respectful and easy to achieve.
Koru Inspired Shapes for New Beginnings
The koru, inspired by the unfurling fern frond, represents new life, growth and harmony. In fused glass, you can create flowing spiral shapes using stringers, powder lines or curved cut pieces. Soft greens, whites and gentle blues work beautifully to reflect nature and balance.
Land and Sea Colour Palettes
Waitangi Day is closely connected to the land and waters of Aotearoa. Try blending ocean blues, deep greens, sandy neutrals and sky tones in your glass pieces. These colours can be layered, streaked or blended with frit to create abstract landscapes, wave inspired designs or horizon style panels.
Heart Shapes for Unity and Partnership
Waitangi Day is about coming together and recognising shared history. A simple heart design made from layered glass or blended frit in meaningful colours can represent connection, respect and unity. These are beginner friendly and make thoughtful gifts.
Fern and Leaf Silhouettes
Native plant forms, especially fern shapes, are strongly associated with New Zealand identity. You can cut simple leaf silhouettes from sheet glass or use powders and stencils to create delicate botanical designs. These look beautiful as suncatchers, panels or small decorative pieces.
Whether you're just starting or looking for new ideas, these video tutorials are a great way to explore techniques and themes for ANZAC-inspired glass art:
