Enjoy Your Ceramics

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 proper 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 designs, images and patterns. Pick out 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 arrive with a plan – a friendly teacher will guide you through the process, with plenty of freedom to experiment, move things around and find a combination that feels like you.
It's as much about the time together as the making. Order a coffee, cocktail, beer or something to eat from the host venue, catch up with friends and enjoy the atmosphere while you create. Once your design is finished, your piece is taken away for kiln firing and finishing, transforming your collage into a lasting piece of tableware ready to use at home.
Fancy your own Sip & Make session? It's a lovely choice for birthdays, hen dos, team socials, family celebrations, reunions or simply an excuse to get everyone together and try something a little different – just get in touch with your preferred date, group size and occasion, and a session can be arranged to suit you.
Please note: your ceramic piece is normally ready within 1-2 weeks. You can collect it from ChillChillCats Goodies & Craftroom, on the balcony of Leeds Corn Exchange, or add £6 for UK delivery to have it 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.
