Respect for Nature and our Customers

SIÓG is about more than making beautiful art, it’s about leaving a positive impact. By prioritizing sustainable practices, SIÓG shows respect not only for the land that inspires its work, but also for you - our customers - who are increasingly conscious of supporting businesses that reflect their own commitment to the environment.

Eco-friendly business practises

  • Net Zero Emmissions

    Externally certified net zero emissions, based on our studio utility bills, waste generation, product and packaging materials.

  • Product Materials

    Frames used are solid wood, made in Ireland and use traditional glass. Mounted prints enclosed in biodegradable sleeves. Greeting cards printed on recycled paper and enclosed in biodegradable sleeve.

  • Frame Refurbishing

    Rather than discarding damaged or slightly imperfect frames, we refurbish and repair these frames whenever possible. This ensures they meet our high-quality standards while also reducing waste.

  • Biodiversity

    In Spring and Summer each year, we run workshops on flower pressing. The course includes tips to improve biodiversity in your locality and also around sustainable harvesting of flowers.

    We also ensure space for pollinators in our own gardens, where we grow both native and ornamental species for our pressed flower art.

  • Packaging Materials

    We minimise packaging to that which is absolutely necessary and ensure every material we purchase to package our products is 1) made from recycled materials and/or 2) is biodegradable or suitable to be recycled again (card, paper-based) 3) only bubble wrap already in circulation (goods received inward).

  • Care & Repair

    We provide clients with detailed instructions on how to care for and maintain their pressed flower art, helping extend its life and beauty.

    For clients experiencing accidental damage to their pieces, we offer repair and touch-up services to restore the artwork, helping minimize waste and ensuring each piece can be cherished long-term.

Inspired by Nature & Heritage

Our work is inspired by nature - its beauty, resilience, and delicate balance.

Flowers, plants, and Irish landscapes are not just the materials and inspiration for our art; they’re part of a heritage that we all share and should protect. Every sustainable choice, from using eco-friendly materials to sourcing locally, is a way to minimize our environmental impact and actively support a healthier planet.
