About Me....
My name is Kate Riley
Hi, I’m Kate—welcome to Pictura Studios!
As a qualified teacher and former Calday Grammar School educator, I founded Pictura Studios to create a relaxed, inspiring space where creativity can flourish. Teaching is my passion, and I believe everyone has an artist within them—whether you're a beginner or experienced.
I'm also a mum to Arthur and Oliver, who you might see around the studio, along with our friendly border collie, Max. When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with my family or working on my own art.
I can’t wait to see what you create at Pictura Studios!

"One of my favourite places for crafty activities!! Each visit I’ve been greeted with the most lovely and helpful staff,."
"The coffee is lovely, the prices for pottery painting are reasonable and the staff are so friendly and helpful and explain everything to you.
Been 3 times with friends and we've all had a great experience every time."
Amazing place! My Mum and I wanted to try something new while we were in Chester. Lovely place to go and would highly recommend. Staff were helpful and very friendly, & lots of choice for things to do for both adults & children. Would definitely come back!
