This bird isn’t just perched — it’s posing.
A bold, textured bird portrait with creamy layers, colour, and character. In this vibrant painting session, we’re giving the great tit a full-on glamour moment: thick, sculpted strokes, glossy feathers you can almost touch, and a background in unapologetic pink.

You’ll work with modelling paste and rich acrylics to build a portrait that’s part painting, part sculpture — playing with light, shadow, and feather detail until your bird is brimming with personality.

It’s tactile, it’s joyful, and it’s a little bit fabulous.

Van Gogh… but make it glow.
You know the painting. Now turn up the colour, crank the contrast, and let the stars trip out a little.

In this bold remix of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, we’re keeping the iconic swirls — but lighting up the sky with fluorescent pinks, greens, blues, and purples that’ll make your canvas sing (or at least vibe).

This one’s all about colour play, flowy lines, and total freedom.
No experience needed — just bring your wild side and your love for all things starry, swirly, and slightly surreal.

Sculpt. Shape. Sunbathe. A beach day on canvas.
In this semi-guided textured event, we’re going overhead — your view of the seaside from above. With modelling paste and paint, you’ll learn to shape foamy waves, sandy shores, and scatter tiny umbrellas with sunbathers below. Think playful details, summer vibes, and a splash of humour worked into every stroke.

No experience needed — just a taste for fun, bright colours, and beachy imagination. You’ll leave with a holiday scene that’s tactile, vibrant, and full of summer joy.


✨ How PIE Semi-Guided Workshops Run
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
At our semi-guided workshops, 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.

Action Painting, Neon Edition

Feel First, Paint Second: A PIE Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • PIE Action Painting Studio Zürich
  • 3 hours
from 60.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

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
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink — and instead of sitting down, you step into it. You’ll get your protective overalls, switch into painting mode, and get ready to let go a little. We start on time, so make sure you’re there and ready to dive in.

Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials and tools — showing you what’s possible, how to move, splash, layer, and play. Nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to experiment.

Then the fun really begins. You’ll explore layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques. The space is yours to explore: move between the splashing area, where you can let loose, and the refining area, where you can slow things down and shape your piece. Throughout the session, your instructor is there to guide you with personal tips and support.

At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — with your finished piece and great vibes.

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.

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.

Landscapes? More like dreamscapes. Let’s get surreal.
Ready to paint something that looks like it came straight out of your imagination? In this guided session, we’ll ditch the ordinary and explore dreamy, surreal landscapes using acrylic paint, sponge, palette knife, and a good dose of creative courage.

Think shifting skies, floating hills, glowing colours, unexpected shapes — this is where rules melt and intuition takes the lead. Whether your dreamworld is calm and misty or wild and cosmic, we’ll help you bring it to life on canvas.
This isn’t about painting what’s “real” — it’s about painting what feels real to you.

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
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink — and instead of sitting down, you step into it. You’ll get your protective overalls, switch into painting mode, and get ready to let go a little. We start on time, so make sure you’re there and ready to dive in.

Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials and tools — showing you what’s possible, how to move, splash, layer, and play. Nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to experiment.

Then the fun really begins. You’ll explore layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques. The space is yours to explore: move between the splashing area, where you can let loose, and the refining area, where you can slow things down and shape your piece. Throughout the session, your instructor is there to guide you with personal tips and support.

At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — with your finished piece and great vibes.

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.

This bird isn’t just perched — it’s posing.
A bold, textured bird portrait with creamy layers, colour, and character. In this vibrant painting session, we’re giving the great tit a full-on glamour moment: thick, sculpted strokes, glossy feathers you can almost touch, and a background in unapologetic pink.

You’ll work with modelling paste and rich acrylics to build a portrait that’s part painting, part sculpture — playing with light, shadow, and feather detail until your bird is brimming with personality.

It’s tactile, it’s joyful, and it’s a little bit fabulous.

  • 2.5 hours
from 75.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Sculpt. Swipe. Splash. Let the coastline take shape.
In this hands-on textured art workshop, we’re heading seaside — no swimsuit needed. You’ll use plaster, modelling paste, and a mix of tools and materials to sculpt your own beachscape, building up textures that feel like real sand, foamy waves, and weathered shoreline details.

You’ll learn how to create and shape those beautiful, foamy waves, and how to work with different materials to achieve a variety of tactile effects within one piece. From soft, grainy sands to dynamic water movement, this session is all about turning your canvas into something you can almost feel.

The Atlantic has many faces — calm, wild, deep, or shimmering — and that’s exactly the spirit of this workshop. You’ll choose your own colour palette, define your own wave dynamics, and shape the mood of your coastline in a way that feels personal to you. It’s one of our favourite examples of how a simple theme can lead to completely different, unique creations.

If we had to recommend one workshop to start your journey with modelling paste, this would be it.


✨ How PIE Semi-Guided Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink and settle into your spot at the table where the magic will happen. We start on time, so make sure you`re there and ready to dive in.

Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials — 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.

Then the fun really begins. Our instructors 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.

At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — your finished piece, great vibes.

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! We’ll take care of the rest — starting with a complimentary welcome drink 🥂 to spark your creativity.

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.

  • A chill, beginner-friendly session led by our wheel-throwing wizards
  • Step-by-step intro to centering, pulling, and shaping on the wheel
  • Time to finesse your form and feel the clay do its thing
  • A playful, supportive vibe where mistakes are just part of the fun
  • All tools, clay, and good energy provided

🎁 What You’ll Take Home

  • One fired & glazed ceramic piece (included in the price — we’ll handle the rest)
  • The option to keep more pieces for CHF 15 each
  • The pure joy of creating something from spinning mud
  • A solid intro to wheel-throwing, and whether a full course is your next step

🧠 Who It’s For

  • Total newbies who’ve always wanted to try “that Ghost movie thing”
  • Hands-on creatives craving a screen-free adventure
  • Friends, dates, teams — anyone up for a shared spin
  • Future potters testing the waters before diving into a full course


📦 A Few More Things to Know

  • No need to bring anything – just wear something comfy you don’t mind getting a bit clay-kissed
  • Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in
  • Firing and glazing takes 4 weeks – we’ll let you know when your piece is ready

Spinning Beginnings: First Steps on the Potter‘s Wheel

From lump to lovely: A PIE Ceramics Course

  • Multi-day Course
  • Beginner
  • PIE Ceramics Basel
  • 4 x 3 Hours
from 390.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

From your first lump of clay to a wheel-thrown masterpiece (or three).

This beginner-friendly 4 weeks course is your deep-dive intro to the spinning, swirling, centering joy of the potter’s wheel — no experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to get a little muddy.

Over four weeks, we’ll guide you step by step through the fundamentals of wheel throwing: from prepping your clay and finding your centre, to pulling up walls and refining your form. You’ll shape pieces like cups, small bowls or vases — and begin to develop your own rhythm and relationship with this meditative, tactile craft.

This course is perfect if you’ve always wanted to try the wheel — or if you’ve done a taster and now want to go deeper.


✏️ What to Expect

  • Weekly classes with hands-on instruction and demos
  • Personalised guidance in a small group setting
  • Techniques like wedging, centering, opening, pulling, shaping & trimming
  • Intro to decorating tools: carving, stamping, and adding attachments
  • The basics of glazing and finishing
  • Full access to our professional ceramics studio and tools
  • Time to explore, experiment and build confidence on the wheel

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • How to prepare and centre clay on the wheel
  • The core techniques of throwing symmetrical forms
  • How to trim and refine your pieces once leather-hard
  • Surface design & decoration techniques to make your work your own
  • Basic glazing principles and studio workflows
  • Best practices for independent practice and next steps


🎁 What’s Included

  • All tools, materials, and clay
  • Use of studio equipment and your own wheel each session
  • Firing & glazing of your finished pieces
  • Safe storage of your works between sessions
  • Your handmade ceramics — ready for pickup approx. 4 weeks after the last class

All you need to bring is comfy clothes, tied-back hair, and a sense of adventure. We’ll provide aprons, towels — and of course, encouragement.

🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?

Absolutely. This course is ideal for:

  • Complete beginners with no wheel experience
  • Anyone who’s taken a taster and is ready to deepen their skills
  • Creatives looking for structure, flow, and personal growth at the wheel

If you’re more experienced, you may want to explore our intermediate courses or ongoing Studio Classes to continue developing your style.


📦 A Few More Things to Know

  • Please arrive 15 minutes early to your first class to get set up
  • We safely store your work between sessions
  • Firing takes 3–4 weeks after the final class — we’ll notify you when your pieces are ready to collect
  • Tickets are transferable, but non-refundable within 36 hours
  • Rescheduling is possible up to 72 hours before the course begins
  • Keep the momentum going — our Studio Classes are perfect for continued practice and personal projects
