Hi, I’m Kiu — the artist behind artLaiga Studio.

I run relaxed, beginner-friendly creative workshops across Leeds and West Yorkshire, where enjoying the process is just as important as what you make.

Before founding artLaiga Studio, I spent over 10 years working in art education, helping people discover the joy of making through clear, step-by-step guidance.

To me, workshops are about more than learning a craft. They’re an opportunity to slow down, make personal choices, and create something meaningful with your own hands — no artistic experience needed. My sessions are calm, welcoming, and pressure-free, with plenty of creative freedom and encouragement along the way.

Alongside teaching, I create small-batch ceramic homeware and accessories under artLaiga, combining original illustrations, Word Art, and ceramic collage. I love creating pieces that people can use, enjoy, and live with every day — little companions that bring warmth, humour, and a smile to ordinary moments. Selected works are stocked at ChillChillCats Goodies & Craftroom in Leeds Corn Exchange.

I also offer workshops for private groups, schools, community organisations, hen parties, and corporate events across Leeds and West Yorkshire.
