Feel First, Paint Second: A PIE Workshop

PIE Action Painting Studio Zürich
2,5 hours

from 60.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Tickets Eventdetails

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.

In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.

But this experience can be as wild — or as introspective — as you want it to be.

Beyond the action, this workshop also opens the door to intuitive painting: a space to slow down, tune in, and connect with your inner landscape. Through a short but meaningful introduction to colour theory, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions can be translated into colour, movement, and form.

You’ll experiment with layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques — from bold, expressive gestures to more subtle, intentional strokes. Throwing paint is just one of many possibilities — you choose where to place your focus.

No rules, no pressure — just pure expression, guided by our artists who support your individual approach and meet you where you are.

This is more than fun — it’s liberating. You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with new ways to express yourself, release tension, and tap into your creativity — on and off the canvas.

✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run
Treat yourself to a liberating action painting session where you can unwind, let go, sip & snack, and explore your creativity in a whole new way. Come with your friends — or make new ones — as you dive into a feel-good workshop that can be as energetic or as introspective as you like, guided by our lovely local artists.

Step into a space designed for freedom of expression — whether that means bold, dynamic action or a more intuitive, inward approach. Most of our workshops take place in our beautiful, cozy studios — full of colour, good vibes, and a warm, creative atmosphere.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything*:

A chill, friendly atmosphere
All the necessary art supplies
Full-body overalls and shoe protection
A mix of demonstration & individual guidance

* We provide protective overalls, but we highly recommend not wearing your favourite or most expensive clothes, as paint may still seep through. Please also bring a pair of socks that you don’t mind getting paint on or wet.

All you need to bring is your good vibes and curiosity! We’ll take care of the rest — starting with a complimentary welcome drink 🥂 to spark your creativity.

🖼️ Canvas Size & Upgrades
Your ticket includes a 40 x 50 cm canvas, which you can upgrade to larger sizes - just choose the option when booking your ticket, or decide spontaneously at the workshop.

3 Hours

from 105.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Tickets Eventdetails

Golden hour light. Wild blooms in motion. Your brush sets the rhythm.
This is no still life — this is a garden caught mid-song. You’ll paint a bouquet of vivid pink and orange wildflowers, set against a lush, softly diffused green background that feels like early evening air.

It’s all about bold, expressive brushwork — letting your strokes stay loose, visible, and full of energy. You’ll build depth layer by layer, playing with contrast, softness, and movement, while using colour not just to fill space, but to guide the eye and shape the composition itself.

Think flow, not control. Vibes, not outlines. The kind of piece where petals blur, light lingers, and the whole canvas hums with quiet energy.
Let go of perfection, lean into your instincts, and let your brush do the blooming.

✨ How PIE Paint & Brunch Workshops Run
Treat yourself to a creative experience that begins with a relaxed, curated brunch and flows into a guided painting session. Start the morning by unwinding, enjoying delicious food & drinks, and connecting with others in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

After brunch, we’ll move into the painting part of the workshop, where you can let go, explore your creativity, and effortlessly pick up new skills without even realising it.

Brushes out, vibes on — we’re heading to Monet’s garden.
In this vibrant acrylic session, we’ll dive headfirst into the iconic world of Claude Monet’s graden in Giverny — minus the stuffy museum voice.

Tickets Eventdetails

Where vessels become sculpture – and clay becomes yours.

This is more than just a bowl or a vase. It’s a chance to slow down, shape with intention, and create a piece that’s both functional and deeply personal. In this immersive ceramics workshop, we’ll explore how vessels — cups, plates, teapots, decorative forms — can be both useful and sculptural.

With expert guidance, you’ll learn traditional hand-building techniques and how to push their boundaries — forming shapes that reflect not just what you need, but who you are. You’ll be encouraged to experiment with form, texture, and creative expression as you sculpt a piece that feels grounded, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

In this class, you will create a vase or vessel approximately 30 cm tall. This size is achievable for beginners within the available time using the coiling technique.

Once complete, your work will be glazed and fired — ready to collect in about 4 weeks.

Want to bring it to life with colour? Book a painting session and receive a special discount to decorate your own ceramic creation.

Whether you’re just beginning or looking to deepen your connection to clay, this workshop invites you to transform a simple object into a soulful sculpture — one you’ll be proud to use, display, and keep.

Some of our workshops may be held in English depending on the instructor 😊 We really appreciate your openness and flexibility!

✨ How PIE Ceramics Workshops Work

Whether you’re just starting your journey with clay or already have some experience and want to explore a new technique, this is the perfect chance to get your hands dirty, learn something new — and follow your creativity wherever it leads.

Each workshop focuses on a specific process or form, guided by a professional ceramic artist. You’ll learn the core technique step by step, then have space to experiment, personalise, and take your piece in whatever direction feels right to you. It’s structured, supportive, and creatively wide open.

Workshops take place in our cosy, fully-equipped studios in Zürich and Basel, where everything’s set up to support your creative flow — including materials, tools, good lighting, and good vibes.

No pressure, no perfection — just the joy of discovering what you can create with your own two hands.

🎡 Just curious? Even better.

This is your chance to dip a toe (or both hands!) into the wild, whirling world of the pottery wheel — no pressure, no experience needed. In this wheel-throwing taster workshop, you’ll learn how to center, pull, and shape clay like a true ceramic boss. It’s messy, magical, and way more satisfying than your average Saturday scroll session.

You’ll get hands-on with the basics of wheel-throwing — and walk away with at least one piece to call your own. Plus, you’ll leave knowing whether this hobby is a fling or the beginning of a full-blown love affair.

No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity — we’ll handle the spin cycle.

Some of our workshops may be held in English depending on the instructor 😊 We really appreciate your openness and flexibility!
