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 worked in art education for over 10 years. During that time, I developed a passion for helping people translate ideas into finished pieces through clear, step-by-step guidance. Whether participants are complete beginners or experienced makers, my aim is to make the creative process approachable, enjoyable, and rewarding.

I love teaching because making allows us to transform ideas and feelings into something you can see, touch, use, or even wear. Every piece is uniquely yours, and seeing people feel proud and happy when their ideas come to life is what keeps me inspired to teach.

Alongside workshops, I create handmade ceramic accessories and homeware, with selected pieces stocked at ChillChillCats Goodies & Craftroom in Leeds Corn Exchange. My sessions are calm, supportive, and pressure-free, with plenty of creative freedom and encouragement along the way.

Workshops are held at various venues across the region, and I also offer workshop delivery at your venue, ideal for team-building events, private groups, community organisations, schools, and special occasions.
