Take it home and enjoy your one-of-a-kind ceramics with coffees, cakes, snacks and all the little everyday moments.


Looking for a creative way to catch up with friends? Sip & Make brings ceramics into some of Leeds’ favourite independent cafés, bars, and social spaces—so you can settle in with a drink, have a chat, and make something completely your own.
In this Design Your Own Tableware Experience, you’ll start with a ceramic mug or plate and explore a playful collection of ceramic designs, images, and patterns. Pick the ones that catch your eye, mix and match them, and arrange your favourites into your own one-of-a-kind ceramic collage.
There’s no need to be “good at art” or come with a design in mind. We’ll guide you through the process, with plenty of freedom to experiment, move things around, and find a combination that feels like you.
Once your design is finished, we’ll take your piece away for kiln firing and finishing, transforming your collage into a lasting piece of tableware ready to use at home.
Sip & Make is designed to be as much about the time together as the making. Order a coffee, cocktail, beer, or something to eat, catch up with friends, and enjoy the atmosphere while you create. Food and drinks can be ordered directly from our host venue to enjoy during your session.
After the experience:
Your ceramic piece will be kiln-fired and finished after the session and will normally be ready within 1–2 weeks.
Once it’s ready, you can:
  • Collect it from ChillChillCats Goodies & Craftroom, on the balcony of Leeds Corn Exchange; or
  • Add £6 UK delivery to have your finished piece sent directly to a UK address.

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.
