Ceramic Coaster - Kapokapowai / Dragonfly (Katy Hayward)

These beautiful ceramic coasters feature original artwork by Northland-based artist Katy Hayward. 

The New Zealand giant dragonfly, or kapokapowai, is one of Aotearoa’s most ancient and remarkable native insects. With its striking yellow and black markings and powerful wingspan, it moves through the bush with both strength and grace — a quiet predator woven into the rhythms of our wetlands and forests.

In this piece, the giant dragonfly is paired with climbing native rātā vine, a plant known for slowly reaching upward through the canopy before bursting into vivid red bloom. Together, they represent resilience, transformation, and the wild beauty of Aotearoa’s native world — delicate yet enduring, powerful yet deeply connected to the land they call home.
