Māori Punch Needle Art: Cultural Fibre Creations

A round, hand-stitched bag with a red, white, and black wave pattern, placed on a white surface. To the side are four cream-colored shell-shaped and carved jewelry pieces, and in the background, partial view of small succulents in pots.

Nau mai, haere mai ki te toa (Welcome to my shop!)

Much like knitting, punch needle allows me to explore facets of my ancestral background and translate them into stitches and loops. Each piece honors culture, creativity, and connection—here’s why you’ll want one in your home!

Unique & Meaningful: Each piece blends traditional Māori motifs and designs with modern textile fibre art, creating an OOAK statement.
Cultural Depth: These works carry stories of my ancestral heritage, bringing Māori artistry and history into your space.
Support Artisans: By purchasing, you’re supporting independent artists and keeping traditional and modern art alive!

Thank you for supporting my art and allowing me to share these pieces with the world. I can’t wait to see which designs resonate with you.
