Malika
Art Teacher
Our Horsforth branch is run by Louisa. Louisa studied Textile Design studies at the University of Leeds. Passionate about the arts, she previously volunteered at The Hepworth Wakefield. At art-K, Louisa finds fulfilment in nurturing children’s creativity and fostering their artistic growth, eager to share her love of art and contribute to others’ artistic development through the program.
Malika studied photography at Leeds Trinity University. She worked in a photography gallery and recently was a Sip and Paint host which ignited her love for teaching art! She remembers art classes at school being a little disheartening or too fast pace and wants to be able help students at their own pace, encourage them and make learning an overall fun and exciting process. She believes it’s never too late to pick up a brush or pencil and get creative and so also loves to teach adults. Teaching the classes, for her, creates a great sense of community where everyone’s learning and it can help with confidence through the encouragement of your peers as well as herself.

Redefining What it Means to Learn Through Art
At art-K, we are passionate about nurturing creativity and building confidence through artistic expression. Our engaging weekly classes, workshops, events, and parties provide a supportive environment where students can grow in their artistic skills while embracing their unique abilities. We celebrate each student’s journey, fostering a community that values collaboration, self-discovery, and mutual support.
Our personalised teaching approach adapts to each student’s age, ability, and interests, ensuring that every individual feels seen and valued. We believe that art education goes beyond technique; it’s about instilling core values, enhancing self-esteem, and encouraging a sense of belonging. By celebrating our students’ successes together and welcoming their outside creations, we cultivate a culture of continuous learning and joy. At art-K, we’re redefining what it means to learn through art, and we’re dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of our students. Join us in discovering the transformative power of creativity!
