Sail-la-Vie: An Impression of Sunset Shenanigans

Sunset? Set Sail.
Somewhere between day and night, color and calm, there’s a moment where everything just glows. That’s what we’re capturing in this impressionist-inspired painting session — a sailboat drifting into golden hour, two figures silhouetted against a sky that forgot how to be subtle.
You’ll play with texture, light, and a little artistic license as you layer bold brushstrokes and dreamy hues. No experience needed — just bring your love of sunsets, sea breezes, and maybe someone to share the view.
This isn’t your average “paint and sip.” This is sail into the sunset… with a brush in your hand.

Textures of Nature: Thick Jungle
Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Basel
- 2.5 Hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
A calm, layered painting session full of texture, tone, and tropical ease.
This isn’t wild — it’s quietly lush.
In this elegant painting session, you’ll explore the softness of silk-like tropical leaves: overlapping shapes, subtle greens, and textures you can almost feel. Against a white or misty grey background, the leaves take centre stage — layered, delicate, and just a little bit sculptural.
We’ll work with close tones and tonal contrast to build depth and movement — no harsh lines, just slow brushwork and the meditative rhythm of shadow and shape.
It’s the kind of painting that makes you breathe slower. Calm greens, quiet elegance, and a canvas that says more the longer you look at it.
No experience needed — just a love of nature, neutrals, and detail that speaks softly.
✨ How PIE semi-guided events work
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
At our semi-guided events, you get a clear theme and technique to start with – think of them as your creative launchpad. From there, it’s all about what you do with it.
Our artist guides are there to show you the essentials, share tips, and keep you inspired… but the real magic happens when you dive into your own creative waters ;) Follow the guidance closely or take a playful detour – both paths are perfect.
It’s the ideal balance of support and self-expression: enough structure to feel confident, enough freedom to surprise yourself. A little deeper, a little more intentional, and always a lot of fun.

Abstract Evening Series
Paint & Sip – PIE Abstract Painting Event
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Basel
- 2.5 Hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Abstract art. No rules.
Time to throw perfection out the window and lean into the mess. In this semi-guided abstract session, we’re mixing bold colours, big moves. You’ll play with layering, texture, and all kinds of expressive techniques until your canvas screams: “Yeah, I meant to do that.”
It’s not about knowing what you’re doing — it’s about trusting your creative gut and having a damn good time doing it.
✨ How PIE semi-guided events work
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
At our semi-guided events, you get a clear theme and technique to start with – think of them as your creative launchpad. From there, it’s all about what you do with it.
Our artist guides are there to show you the essentials, share tips, and keep you inspired… but the real magic happens when you dive into your own creative waters ;) Follow the guidance closely or take a playful detour – both paths are perfect.
It’s the ideal balance of support and self-expression: enough structure to feel confident, enough freedom to surprise yourself. A little deeper, a little more intentional, and always a lot of fun.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Pre-prepared templates
- Step-by-step guidance from our instructors
All you need to bring is your good vibes and curiosity! Whether you’re painting or getting crafty, you’ll leave with your own unique creation and plenty of great memories.

Every event includes a complimentary welcome drink to get your creativity flowing. You can choose from:
- A soft drink or hot drink

🍴 Feeling peckish? Our Creative Café offers a delicious à la carte menu throughout the session — featuring homemade wraps, salad bowls, finger foods, and healthy snacks — perfect for fueling your inner artist. Extra drinks are also available at regular menu prices.

Paint Your Pet
Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

- 3 Hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
A portrait session for devoted humans and the four-legged icons they adore.
Your pet is already a star — now it’s time to immortalise them in paint.
In this custom, joy-filled session, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind portrait of your beloved animal (real, imagined, or emotionally adopted). Think soulful eyes, majestic fluff, and maybe a tiny crown or a glass of wine in paw — because obviously.
After you book, you’ll send us a few photos of your pet. Our artist will choose the most paint-worthy one and prepare a drawing template for you, so when you show up, the canvas (or plate!) is ready and waiting. Yes — you can also choose to paint your pet onto a ceramic plate. Because what’s better than eating spaghetti off your dog’s face? Nothing.
With step-by-step guidance and space for your weirdest, cutest ideas, this session is part portrait, part love letter, and 100% celebration.
No experience needed — just a good pet photo and a little flair.
✨ How the Event Works
Treat yourself to a creative experience, where you can unwind, sip & snack, and have fun with your friends — or make new ones — as you paint and craft your way through a feel-good session led by our lovely local artists.
Most of our events take place in our beautiful, cozy studios — full of color, good vibes, and a warm, artistic atmosphere. Occasionally, we also pop up in local bars, restaurants, or outdoor locations during the sunny season.
