We aim to educate and promote the art of Glass beadmaking in New Zealand, preserve the traditions of the art form and encourage the continued renaissance of contemporary glass beadmaking.

NZGBA has dissolved and become part of NZSAG, the New Zealand Glass Society, established in 1980. This means that glass beadmakers, glass jewellery designers and the like can participate in exhibitions and shows with a much larger group of the glass community. This is an exciting move as it means that New Zealand Glass beadmakers can network and showcase their skill with some of New Zealand’s finest glass artists.

All membership for the NZGBA is handled through the NZSAG website, please select ‘Become a Member’ (above) to process your application through the NZSAG channels.
