Currently making Perth home Sian Boucherd takes her cues from nature’s architecture; formations such as pods, nests, cocoons and the unique striations that make up Western Australia’s ancient geology.
Through the use of natural fibres such as sisal, jute and wool Sian creates meticulously hand crafted vessels and jewellery by way of a coiling basketry technique.
Sian exhibits regularly and also delivers workshops.
You can find her work online and at ::
Found at Fremantle Arts Centre, Mundaring Arts Centre, and 152 Gallery (York) in Western Australia and at the JamFactory in Adelaide, and Beaver Gallery in Canberra.

In July 2017, Maker & Smith was founded by Mary Ellen Cliff and Carola Akindele-Obe. Their primary objective was to fulfil their strong desire to elevate the professional craft industry in Western Australia. Maker & Smith operates on a volunteer basis and aims for self-sustainability without compromising standards. We rely on partnerships and pay fair fees to skilled artisans and designer-makers who participate in our programs.
Maker & Smith respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, including the Whadjuk, Pibelman, and Minang peoples of the Noongar nation. We recognise the importance of their culture and the ongoing contribution they make to the life of this region. We also recognise the significance of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for constitutional recognition and the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution.
Always was, always will be.
