Sian hosted my daughter’s birthday party. She was great. Very passionate about her workshop. She also very patient with the children. Kids all enjoyed it and couldn’t wait to show their parents the finishing products.

I first met Sian at the Mayor of London’s first-ever London Made Me pop-up shop last year. I instantly fell in love with her stunning, sustainably-made art and jewellery and snapped up the opportunity to take part in a workshop where I got to learn about how she utilises discarded plastic in her work and is preventing further landfill. With Sian’s guidance, I also got to learn how to make a pair of funky earrings using using a heat press! I’ve instantly become a fan of Plastique and since bought some artwork for my home and commissioned Sian for another piece - inspired by her Valentine’s Day card range! What’s great and unique is that Sian very much involved me in the creative process with the earrings and is doing the same with the artwork… it’s fun and really fulfilling to work on the pieces together! I absolutely love Sian’s inviting approach to making, her passion for the environment and her warm personality that makes you want to learn about each and every design - as there is a story behind them all!

I LOVE every piece of creation made by Siân. The products are excellent quality and the service is as wonderful! I couldn't resist to purchase beautiful earrings and ask for customised sets too!

Brilliant workshop held by Sian, wide array of materials provided to work with! Explained and demonstrated well - such a lovely facilitator! It pushed me to be creative in ways I've never tried before and I absolutely love that it's all sustainable - it's inspiring seeing what you can create with scrap materials! I'm so glad I was able to attend, one of the best workshops I've done!

Sian made a huge commission for me. I absolutely love the piece and everyone comments on it when they come round. The use of plastics and re-use and recycling is so clever and the end results are so stunning. Very exciting to see what Sian creates next! If you’re interested in the work I would definitely recommend having a chat with her to see what she can create for you!
