COVID - UPDATE 23.11.
We believe, that if we look after each other, we can still enjoy the great things in life...like Painting!
We keep ourselves updated about the measures and navigate around restrictions. According to the new regulations, Courses need to be cancelled, but events and Workshops ARE STILL POSSIBLE!
So here is a list of our new house rules
- Number of participants is limited to 10 in accordance with the current social distancing regulations
- The distance between easels is 1,5 meters
- As our guests can move, use the bathroom, get a drink from the bar, we ask them to wear a mask, which we provide in case someone does not have
- No drinking or eating is allowed -> no welcome drink
- Sanitizers are at your disposal in the lounge area
- We clean and disinfect surfaces and tools every day
- There is always a break during our sessions, when we air out the studio
… and that is pretty much it! Would you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask!

Festive Wreath Workshop
A festive wreath (pronounced reef) is a Christmas staple in many countries and the perfect decoration to bring some Christmas cheer into your home. Traditionally made with evergreens such as fir, twigs, holly and ivy, Christmas and Advent wreaths come in many different shapes and styles... but without a doubt the best kind of wreath is the one you have made yourself! Join us in the PIE studio as we are joined by the lovely Titi of TS Home Decor for our Festive Wreath Workshop.
Titi makes amazing home decor but with a special focus on upcycling, sustainable decor, and DIY, reminding us that Christmas does not have to cost the planet! Over this 2 hour event Titi will guide us all as we create our own festive Advent wreaths, listen to Christmas tunes, sip mulled wine, eat cookies, drink teas and coffees, and find the shining light within this very COVID Christmas. All materials (including the all-important Advent candles!) are included, as well as Festive snacks and drinks. The Advent wreath is traditionally put out on the first Sunday of Advent, so make sure you come join us on the 29th November from 11:00am.

Duration: 2 hours
Price: 85 CHF
(Members: 76,5 CHF, Pro: 68 CHF)Includes all materials, ornaments, tools, candles, … simply everything.

NEW Techniques!!!
Pouring Acrylics
***Fluid Art***
A rather hypnotic and meditative approach to creating abstract art which often leads to stunning results. By making the acrylic paint liquid, it can be poured onto a canvas in a multitude of ways letting the paint splat, ooze and mix right in front of your eyes creating unimaginable patterns just as you tilt your canvas. It is all in your hands!
Suitable for beginners, experts, and all lovers of some mess and chaos, this 3-to-4-hour workshop will look at how different techniques and colour combinations can create abstract art so beautiful, everyone will think you planned it all along.
6th December (Sun), 14:00 PM
Duration: 3 to 4 hours

(Members: 108CHF, Pro: 96 CHF)2 x Techniques—> 3 x Canvases

During the painting conversations come easily, we laugh a lot, but tuning in is not a must, if you don't feel like it. The greatest thing is, that it can be quite meditative and social at the same time.

How do i sign up for an event?
Signing up is easy. Go to our event calendar to see the dates and types of all upcoming events. Select which painting you would like to paint and add it to your cart by clicking “Let’s paint!” Follow the on-screen directions to complete the order. Contact us if you have trouble completing your order and we will walk you through the process.
Do i have to bring anything?
All you need to bring is yourself. You are coming to a contemporary art studio, which is equipped with every painting material, like canvases, different kinds of paints, easels and aprons. We do recommend though to bring an old T-shirt to paint, maybe not your favorite pair of trousers, since our apron does not cover the full body.. Feel free to bring your own food and beverages as well.
What if i can't paint?
Our artist will guide you step-by-step through the featured painting and will ensure that you stay on track to completing your masterpiece by the end of class. Nearly everyone is surprised at their inner Picasso! Perhaps it is not that obvious, but dealing with your expectations is also a significant part of the experience. What one might regard as a failure, the other might see as courageous brushwork or the burst of creativity – and vice verse. We agree here with Bob Ross: “We do not make mistakes, just happy little accidents!”
Can i take my painting home?
Of course! Your painting is yours – hang it on your wall or give it to someone as a gift.
Is it possible to organize private painting parties?
Absolutely! We would like to encourage you to do so, since we truly believe, that ‘Paint and Sip’ parties fit brilliantly to most celebrations, corporate events or family get-togethers. Check out our ‘private events’ menu to learn more and to get in touch.
