Lakeside Garden Club: Spring Upcycled Plastic Flower workshop
Saturday 25th April 2026 , 11:00am to 1:00pm
Join artist Siân, Founder of PLASTIQUE By Siân to create beautiful flower waterproof decorations, for your home or garden using recycled plastic bottles and containers.
PLASTIQUE is back at the Lakeside Garden Club for a special spring workshop, where you’ll be transforming single-use plastic waste into bright, waterproof flower decorations.
Participants will learn how to cut, shape and assemble discarded plastic bottles and containers into colourful sculptural flowers that can live indoors or outside in the garden.
These designs are made entirely from rescued materials — the best colours often come from everyday items like:
- cleaning spray bottles
- bleach and household containers
- fizzy drinks bottles
- takeaway trays and lids
- aloe vera juice bottles
- fruit netting and soft plastics
Each flower ends up completely unique, depending on the colours and textures people bring along.
The image here is an example of a flower created in previous workshops — and they’re always full of personality.
Please bring coloured bottles with you (some will be provided). Booking advised, limited drop-in spaces will be available on the day
Lakeside Garden Club is a free space to socialise and learn new skills! Get involved in community growing and share skills in craft making, printing and drawing from the garden. Everyone is welcome to attend and get creative, but children must be supervised.
