Join this relaxed, beginner-friendly botanical ceramic plates and coasters workshop and enjoy a calm, creative session inspired by nature. You’ll explore how to imprint plants and flowers into clay to create one handcrafted ceramic plate and a matching pair of ceramic coasters.
Each piece will be uniquely yours, shaped by your own choice of botanical textures and design. You're very welcome to bring along any specific flowers or plants you’d like to use, but no worries if not – a beautiful selection of botanical elements will be provided for you. This workshop is gently structured to keep things easy and enjoyable:
  • Designing your layout – Spend the first hour working with the clay and planning your design.
  • Painting your pieces – Use the second hour to add colour to your creations using underglaze.
Workshops are held at either chillchillcats goodies & craftroom in Leeds Corn Exchange or A Touch of Craft Yorkshire in Ossett.
At Leeds Corn Exchange, you’ll create in a cosy cat-themed independent craft shop surrounded by local makers, artists, and unique handmade goods. Your finished ceramics can be collected from the shop once ready, or delivery can be arranged on the day for an additional postage fee (£6). In Ossett, you’ll enjoy a bright and spacious studio with free parking, a welcoming atmosphere, and tea and coffee available via the honesty box, with your completed ceramics posted directly to you after firing.
Both venues offer a relaxed, friendly environment that’s perfect for unwinding, trying something new, and enjoying a creative experience.
After the workshop, your finished ceramics will be professionally kiln-fired and ready approximately three to four weeks later.
Please note: The Ossett venue is on the first floor and accessed via stairs only.

Recent reviews of Botanical Ceramic Plates and Coasters Workshop

  • 5/5 from Bethnie Lancaster, attended Oct 2026: Me and my Cousin attended and thoroughly enjoyed! Kiu was so lovely, knowledgeable and helpful. There were lots of materials provided and we were taught lots of different techniques. It was very relaxing and felt like a friendly, safe space for all. Would 100% recommend and would come back again!
  • 5/5 from Anjulee Scott, attended Oct 2026: Me and a friend went and found the workshop so creative and calming. Our teacher was very patient, supportive and friendly. We loved making our own plates and decorating them with botanicals. Would highly recommend to anyone
  • 5/5 from Lauren Martin, attended Sep 2026: Really enjoyed attending the botanical plate/coaster workshop. The teacher was very friendly and knowledgable. Would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Catherine, attended Sep 2026: This was to mark our 9th wedding anniversary (pottery) and we both had a brilliant time. It was based in a small shop which meant there was a lovely buzz of conversation around us, but at the same time we absolutely didn't feel on display. The teaching and demonstration was clear and we both felt fully equipped to have a go! There was a choice of two plate sizes and a collection of four coasters. The time just flew by and the focus on something creative was very relaxing. We are very much looking forward to seeing our finished plate and coasters and just hope they are as good as we think they are!!! I would definitely recommend this, it was a lovely unusual way to make something from clay, with the added benefit of meeting an interesting and engaged teacher. Thank you so much Kiu!
  • 5/5 from Samantha Davey, attended Aug 2026: Arranged a botanical ceramics workshop for my friend's hen celebrations. We really enjoyed the session, all materials were provided and the hosts were friendly and provided excellent guidance throughout. We were given a choice of things to make and a wide range of colours. The host accommodated my request to bring cocktails and cupcakes for the occasion. Really looking forward to collecting our finished creations!
  • 5/5 from Robert Cope, attended Jun 2026: Excellent class, really enjoyed it and Kiu was a great teacher. Working with flowers and painting their imprints was very fiddly - a lot of concentration and steady hands required - but I'm not artistic and still managed some decent patterns (my biased opinion obviously).
  • 4/5 from Annie, attended Jun 2026: The course was really enjoyable. Yet to see the results! Demonstrations were clear and it was a fun freindly atmosphere. I didn't feel rushed to finish either.
  • 5/5 from Caroline Phillips, attended May 2026: Had a great evening learning something new, loved every minute, with lots of help and guidance.
  • 5/5 from Charlotte Jaques, attended May 2026: The teacher kiu was so lovely and it was all explained in simple ways that we could follow. Had such a relaxing evening and couldn't believe how much we made in 2 hours! And a bonus is it gets delivered to us. Wonderful, good quality and would defo recommend to friends for sure. My husband also came along and he loved it too. Very good. Thank you again
  • 5/5 from Donna Schulz, attended May 2026: I attended the workshop with two friends. A range of leaves & flowers were provided to make impressions on clay coasters/plates and then we painted them with glazes. The tutor was really nice & helpful. We had a lovely time - just waiting to receive the finished pieces to see how they turned out.
  • 5/5 from Olya, attended May 2026: I recently went to the workshop with my friend. The whole experience was absolutely amazing. Our lovely tutor was wonderful and inspiring, the room and atmosphere spacious and welcoming, easy to follow instructions and plenty of materials provided. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone and I will be booking again very soon. Thank you very much.

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.
